    Holy cow! I can’t believe you got that much growth in a period of 10 years. That is a spectacular tree.

    My heart almost stood still with nearly everything you did to that tree:D This is such a different approach to treating plant in comparision to tropical plants like I collect.

    You really got me with cutting the wrong branch at first haha. You really pulled off the “getting a haircut in the middle of the video” and didn’t think we would notice.

    He forgot to say that if you get a haircut during the process, the plant doesn't get depressed about being trimmed up.
