It bloomed for me once. Then a freeze took it and one other tree. One died and one lived, this one. but IDK which it is?? It might be yellow or it might be pink or it might be neither because my memory is fading? Rolling on the floor laughing I took the frozen tree out of the ground when the regrowth was 4". The base must be easily 8" across. It is now about 9-10 feet tall in a pot with 3 "trees" sprouting from the base. ONly the tallest has branched out.

Last week I thought about getting a bigger pot. Maybe I was bonsai-ing the poor thing?? But wondered how I would move such a monster as the pot she is in now is rather large. The past few years have been crazy with illness issues and I missed quite a few feedings. This year, I was on top of it and they get regular feedings of Super Bloom weekly-10 days. That probably did the trick, that and moving it to yet anoter place to get more sun. Notice my screen name? A good sunny place is hard to find around here. But I found a good spot on the driveway, not quite out of the way, sticking out in the middle of things so that we have to drive around the trees. But it's worth it!
