Root - I know the blossoms are spent and that this photo isn't good, but of course my battery went down right when I started the pics, so I just got this single. This is my tree brug, as you see, planted in a large plastic pot, I bought it maybe two months ago and it was in a 2 gallong black plastic pot. It has tripled it's size, and any number, at least four limbs are longer than the trunk, from the dirt to the 'intersection' of a bunch of Ys, and there are Ys all over the limbs and more on the way, as well as more blossoms - so far, this 4th flush, coming up, the buds that I've seen so far, are at the end of the limbs.
There were, I'd say 20 blossoms the first flush, 35 the 2nd flush, and nearly 50 this time. The only reason I'll keep this brug, if I do, is because it is a dandy producer and it has a wonderful fragrance. So, my question is, how long are these limbs going to grow, some are 1
1/2 times longer than the trunk and others twice as long as the trunk, and one is almost straight. Thank goodness it's in a pot, so I can give it more room if you don't think it should be groomed. If you need more info or a better pic, please advise. Thanks ever so much for your help!!!!!!!!! SherryLike
