    Hiya John.

    A few of mine are like that, but have been from quite early on. I probably didn't quite plant them perfectly vertical. It seems to have become more pronounced as they've got bigger. Maybe it's the weight of the leaves?:dunno:

        I guess that might be a good idea. As I said earlier, there's another one that's not far behind, but if that fails too, I might have missed the opportunity to record my heaviest. As long as no-one objects?
