Dear TC,
Your tree is so lovely. I have been trying to purchase a tree that will grow into what yours has become. I am having problems. For one, I have a two year old tree that has become a mop/bush. It grows outward, not upward. Even after pruning. What should I be asking for when I contact nurseries- a non-grafted prunus subhirtella pendulus (Higan Cherry Tree) or a grafted tree??? I would deeply appreciate any help you might give me. See tree on left side of photo from last year.
