Two Years and Counting

July marks the anniversary of The Experiment and since its been awhile since I posted, it's time to bring things up to date. It's been two years since we started The Experiment. I always knew his was a three to five year project, but things are starting to take shape and I am very pleased with the way it's going. Here's the update.

Back in May it was time for our yearly trim. We had a fairly warm, dry spring in Oregon and I'm not sure how that effected the tree's growth, but the candles were quite long. I trimmed them all back to about where I want the balls to form on the branch. That was May 27th, almost two month ago. 

So two months later, here's how they look. They are really starting to take shape. There are a few that are still pretty thin, and I'm not sure just yet what I'm going to do about that. There are also a few branches still to trim, and so that might be where the thin ones end up.

Here's how the tree looks on its two year anniversary! For a comparison, go back to the original post and look at the picture. Remember, three to five years, so we still have a ways to go!
