No Sue, this is the mother plant of that caterpillar eaten one! I just killed that one Sunday!! It was in the front garden and it was too slow in recovering from the winter. I put a tall PB in its place.

I have gotten so many Mayas from this one. It is constantly putting them out. See the 1 big side growth in the front of this one? I have 2 good sized ones on it now. I had cut them all off just last month when I took it out of the hoophouse so these are so fast growing shoots.

Margie, I got this one from Roger Reynolds 3 years ago.

It was a 5 gallon pot and was a huge bush!! For $25. I immediately cut off all but one stem and it kept growing till it got to be a nice tall tree.

Linda, I haven't fertilized any of my alley trees yet at all. I just can't seem to get to it. However, I did pull them out of their pots they had been in for 1 year. I cut the root ball way back and the canopy to match. Added fresh soil and repotted them up.

The color is just starting to change to an apricot now.
