Flame tree now self-supporting

At first, after transplanting the flame tree, the 3 top stalks would not support themselves, and I tethered them to each other with an elastic cord.


 I noticed this morning that they were standing by themselves, with no support. Progress and growth has occurred!

29 Nov 2018:
I came home from work yesterday, at around 7.30 to see that the fierce wind had caused the tree to lean to one side, with one side of the roots exposed.
I went out in the dark (the sensor light was on, and that was enough to see by) to double-stake the tree and so secure it.
