Now in spring view, thinned about 50% of the branches because I started to get die-back inside the pads. Pretty happy with where it stands, especially considering I gud it from a garden just 6 years ago.
Not the best tree in the show, but in the grading it ended in the middle of the field. Happy enough with it. Certainly not the worst in show either, to my pleasant surprise. And received som e good feedback on ohw to improve the tree the next years. Good times
