Before we switch I thought I would answer Dahtzu's question from above. Your plant will set out a new Y each time it blooms and then those Ys will go on to Y as well. If the plant was never killed back by frost or trimmed you would end up with a tangled mess of branches that would look more like a shrub than a tree. Here is one that I have in the ground that I have trimmed to be a tree. Its pretty bare of leaves since Ike so you can see some of the Ys. I have marked most of them in red but I think you can get the Idea. I hope this answers your question
