Well... planting out the old standards from last year.. and the new growth is kicking into gear... and sending food back to the roots.. these rootts are developimng and sending food up to start new limbs and leaves on the top.. This pressure is so great... and the energy fluids are so rich.. and the flow so active along the inner bark.. and the distance to the top so great... piles of little leaf groups are always popping out the sides of the trunk.. to keep the standard form I'm always rubbing these new limb/leaves off the trunk... so the energy and form are maintained in the top..
