Owner's comments
Planted 29 Mar 2014. This is a weak growing tree so far. Lots of blooms with good set but very slow to grow wood. Leaves seem weak and reluctant to flourish. Tree is planted in 1/2 whiskey barrel using garden soil mixed with loam top soil. Added hand full of bone meal at planting. pH was 6.0 Tree began bloom on 19 april and is still blooming on 10 May! We had a mild freeze about 10 April.Season records for this tree
