Here is my privet after it's final trim of the season. I think this is going to be the front of the tree when finished. The left side of this tree looks messy in this picture. The wire almost hides the second branch. It will look better when I take the wire off.

Wow! Nice work, Lance! It's amazing how far this one has come in such a short time. Way to go!
PS ~ I like the little storage shed in the background!

Leslie,
I can't believe how far this tree has come this year either.
I just looked back at it's first picture I took of it this year, and compared it to how it looks now. It doesn't resemble it's "former self" at all. I' really happy with its progress this year
