Sorry no flowers in these pics yet...but some day we'll get there!
I've had this Gumpo Pink for a little over a year I think...
I obtained it in early spring '16....
Did some major chopping and root ball reduction...then let it grow back.
This year, in very early springtime, I removed a few more subtrunks and guy wired the subtrunks down to flatten them out...
Once it started growing this year, I took all my knuckles back to 2 branches to get more light into the interior, to produce back budding that I will cut back to in the future.
I want to make the smallest tree I can out of this, long way to go.
I like the bark it has.
Here are some pictures:

I have been doing similar with a Serrisa but think it will certainly be worth it down the road!
