Forgot to mention we had a lot of heavy rain around one to two weeks ago! which it's never experienced as it had been kept inside at the garden centre and for a week when I 1st got it. Also upped the nutrients to full strength 1 week ago i was only giving it half strength before that.

Rainfall would not normally cause this type of symptom in UK .
We have had some hard frosts lately so that is the probable cause. You should keep it in a sheltered spot until it acclimatises to being outdoors and dont kill it with kindness by overfeeding !

Thanks all. Yes we had a frost last week. So after everyone saying that's the problem I'm going with that. I'll move it inside if another frost comes along.

Hi there.
After a year this is how the tree looks. It grew really well throughout the summer. I'm going to change the soil to 80% A,P,L and 20% organic soil as I don't want to 100% A,P,L straight away, any thoughts on that. Also when I do the soil change does anyone have any alive on a drastic change? I'm not happy with the bulging at the top from two big branches growing directly opposite each other. I feel that the taper is bad and will only get worse over time. Any suggestions however big will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Thinking about it should I have just let the new growth keep growing? In order to eventually have something like this? Or should I be thinking some sort of major chop? I find it quite hard to visualise the future after say doing a big chop. But I also don't know if it should be left as is but with frequent small pruning. Could some please let me know some options or suggestions please?
