Valencia Pride unbalanced

Valenica Pride
Though healthy, a side view shows how she's is lop-sided. I would like to try notching on her to try to get branches on the opposite side of the new growth but am hesitant.

Carrie Mango
About six new buds are appearing. Will keep an eye on how it flushes out.
From the other side.

Julie update; July 29th, 2011

Julie #4
Since pinching/slicing off the tip Julie #4 is about to push out three growths from what I can see. Cool!

Julie #1
My first Julie's growth is steadily getting better. Though difficult to see, there are three shoots on her.

It looks like buds pushing out growth.
Doing well.

Update July 15th, 2011

The 'Valencia Pride grafted onto Manila' experiment
Well, the scion is showing signs of shriveling. I hope this is normal and that the grafting will take.

Valencia Pride
Growing.

Edward II
Edward's new leaves don't look like they will be growing any bigger. Its already showing signs that its raising the leaves and hardening off. Its interesting that the top growth has a reddish color while the growth from the bottom were light green. Hmmm.

Julie #1
My first Julie is continuing to show signs of recovery. I can't believe Julie has survived.

Carrie
After cutting off more from the top, she is showing signs of new buds. Hurray!

Other side of Edward…

Edward II
I turned Edward around and photographed it to show the new leaves.

Update July 10th, 2011

Edward II
Edward's leaves continue to lengthen and I am now wondering about the overall shape as it grows. Might have to prune to control shape.

Graham
Graham is really doing well. I pinched off the tips to encourage branching.
