First year gardening from spring on forward ... this has never been pruned... ever.....and bloomed only once or twice my mother said. I'm going to try and change that. It will take me an entire day and half to complete it.. here is progress photos...OH and I'm saving all prunes to grow individual plants, these pieces I'm cutting are too precious to toss out.

WOW! 29 years old? way cool. no wonder it never bloomed, it was never pruned??? hopefully all works out for it!

Yea, I just did MAJOR work on it, this weekend it will be completed, turns out a lot of the main trunk rotted away, but appeared alive until I grabbed it. Still a lot left, not dead, just skinny... I'll have pics and video up this weekend and I am getting welll over 100 cuttings, sooooo much
