I agree with Craig. Don't fight it. -I have a Point Reyes ceanothus (C.
gloriosus) that really wants to be a semi-cascade style. That's fine by me.

Hi Bart:

Go for it Bart.... If it is almost there why not let the tree tell you
hpow it wants to grow. You just have to nudge it along.... I think the
Texas Ebony are a really lovely fun tree. I am pretty sure they are of
the same family as the Brazilian Rain tree, and both trees are to be
enjoyed year round. I do keep mine on propagation mats and they do not
just survive indoors, but are thriving all winter.... 8-)

I've got a bougainvilla that is doing the same thing. It's a rooted
cutting, and I've just
let it grow wild. It's naturally a vine anyway so I think it's natural
for it to do this,
but it kinda tipped over and is now in a semi-cascade position and
actually looks pretty
good. I guess I'm thinking I should work with what the tree wants to do
naturally. You
can't do that all the time, but if it wants to be a semi-cascade, milk it
for all it's
worth.
