This tree is also from my original collection. I have another one that was bought for us as a wedding anniversary present as a mature specimen. This one was bought as a rough and ready item from a normal garden centre and trained from scratch (into a similar style) Bit of guesswork here, but I'd say it was bought in around 1995 and was probably a 5 year old at the time. So I'd say 25 years old as of now.
It needs some work to try to stimulate some back growth, which apparently is hard for these trees. It also needs some branch arrangement, I think it;s a bit top heavy. But not bad for a tree that has been mostly neglected, apart from re-potting, for around 15 years.
