I figured I would share my little projects with you all. These are from cuttings that I took last May that have grown like crazy this year. I wanted to see if I could turn this cutting into a tree with a single trunk. (Yes I know the Bougie needs some trimmin' Big Grin )

I cut off the initial 'Y' bifurcation that you see here. This was in mid june.

This is an 8 foot garden spike for reference. I repotted it into a bigger pot here, in early July.

It was growing several inches per day until it quit to put all of its energy into these blooms ( I guess?). You can see some of its siblings in the foreground. I need to find homes for these ones--I''m running out of patio space.

This was early this morning. The Hydrangeas need some love, but the patio smells incredible with all of these Brugs blooming simultaneously.

I hope you all enjoy my little experiment. I will start a thread of all of my other brugs and how they have grown over the last year.
