Cool...wish I could grow them.

Every time I get the urge to try another one that small still voice reminds me of my past failures and I buck up and move on.

You can do the 4 years series for years. Works for me.

Nice photos of great cultivar.Its founder,Cindy Lou Pease
grows the original on.She offers it in either the leadered form or the more or less mounded form,but as you say the
latter is likely to throw leaders from unpredictable parts of the tree.I think it is great addition where ever it will grow well.Doug
