Neea Buxifolia

[CharlesBevan]

This is a neea buxifolia that I won in a raffle over the weekend. I usually dont work on a tree this close to winter, but I didn't have room for the tree unless I cut it back to the skeletin. So, it will be a struggle to keep this alive during the winter.

The tree before was a clump of stalks, but I cut all of them off except for the main one. Here is what it looked like after I cut them off-

The main problem with this tree is a large root that extends strait at you from the front of the tree. I will probably shave this down next year.

Here is the virtual I did of the tree.

Charles,
Nice work on the tree. Don't rush to cut off the large root. It may be the only one that is significant and useable. If you decide to slant the trunk you can use that one to balance the slant!
