This particular cultivar has bloomed faithfully, beginning in its second year after planting a 1 foot rooted cutting. The tree shown here is approximately five years old, and has been winter pruned at least twice. In its third year about half of its height was trimmed to shape and promote branching.

An updated photo of the same tree shown above from 2005. Note how it has begun to shape into lateral growth. Blooms are prolific!
