[QUOTE 3566906, member: 9609"]So if anything, as this branch gets bigger, it will effectively get closer to the ground ? I had expected it to go upwards just a little bit[/QUOTE]

Not quite, as bigger branches grow above your head banger, it will atrophy and drop off - but it does take quite a while

They grow from the apical meristem.

I love it when you talk dirty.

And there was me thinking his mountain was just rocky.
