That makes sense. The tree was probably a year or two old when my
friend
bought it, and he had it for another two years before I got it. Now
that it has
been cowed into submission, it will probably not try to make any
more candles
for quite a while.
After I sat through a four hour lecture/demonstration on Pierneef
style,
Charles Ceronio signed two copies of his book and descended on my
tree. It is now
starting to bud back, Gott sie danke, but he cut off the two bottom
branches, so I will eventually have to repot it turned around.

Anita has one that she's given up on, so I think I'm going to have a go
at it. I'm thinking sort of a flat-top style. It's old enough so it has
one purple cone developing on top. Enough branches to begin working
with. How does this species respond to wiring?
