My Fukien Tea
My plan is to thicken up the trunk with the lower branches for a few years, then cut them off and develop the top. One thing I have found with Fukien Tea trees is if you pinch off the flower buds as soon as they start to grow, the saved energy is used to grow new foliage.

I decided to do a complete redo on the branches. It took a couple weeks, but she has a couple little shoots popping out near the top. Is there a way to get branches to start where I want them? Or do I just have to hope for the best?
I also did some root work on her. I moved some around and straightened out others. She is now in a large training pot, where she will stay for a year or two.
