Vitex progression

I grew this from a small cutting. They were two packets in the garden, next to each other and I forgot about them. The roots went in the ground and they almost fused. Recently I found it and dug them out.

I reduced the roots and planted it in the ground to recover.

For what ever reason the middle branch died

March 2013

Sept 2013 I dug it out and root reduced it some more and put it in a training pot.

January 2014

At this time I did a preliminary carving.

 

All dirty and covered in dust.

April 2014 before and after trim and some more carving…actually it is here that my bit got damaged

Actually this was the intended carving

But this is where I reached.

well after I order new bit I shall continue.
