Bought this pocomoke spring 2023. The cost was $65. Has a 3” base.

Repotted into colander spring 2023 shortly after.

Heavily pruned mid may 2024. I want to keep the upright form going. Planning to chop a couple more branches flush with the trunk next year. Got way more buds than I thought. Gonna be a fun project I think going forward!

Before any work done.

Photo’s taken today May 25 2024. In the following years I will take better photo’s. Still leaving my options open by not removing any large branches. Still unsure of the front. Contemplating on whether to remove the sucker growth. The tree is not all that strong.
