Another of my tree brugs a lá Monika (catch that accent Brugie? LOL) is growing by leaps and bounds. It is planted a good 2 feet below my deck in what was a little pond 2 years ago and now it has gone a good foot above the lathe at the top. That makes it at least 9 feet tall. I am so thrilled with it............. it was a sucker that just took off and grew all of this in a few months. It has its first bloom. A nice pink!
