Looks fairly normal. Is it putting out long central spines there on the new growth? Must be from ssp centralifera.

It's a nice little nipper Alfonso, can I assume that it is a prolific clumper like it's compressa parent?

It is growing right now, the crestata parent was grafted, and this one is growing by its own. I hope it develops "normal" until its genetics gave a crested form again.
