Have you ever thought about cutting the top back as hard as you could? Make it a bit more compact.

I will not try to make a flower tree more compact. In my opinion, the flowers or fruits will be highly appreciated when it is scattered on the tree and the whole tree is looked more elegant !

Again, the flower is so tiny! I love it!

Hi @bonhe

I just read through this thread, thank you for sharing and for all the information!

Can I please ask - I noticed on page 5 especially that you have flowering from old wood, but I am reading many places that these trees only flower from new growth. I was wondering if you could provide any insight here?

Thank you
Derek

You are welcome Derek
If the tree is strong and has an extensive pruning in previous growing season, it could send out the flowers on the old wood.

Happy New Year to all of Vietnamese fellows on this forum.

What? You don't wish me a happy new year?...

Happy new year to you Thụ Thoại

PS: even in France the celebration (the "Têt"?...) was cancelled in Bordeaux because of a case of this new virus was found.

I hope you and yours will be safe from the fires, floods and viruses and that 2020 will bring lots of fruits.

I know it's not Vietnamese-American but Chinese-American, but the last film I saw was great and it means something to me and I'm sure it can mean something to others. A beautiful film. I went to see it with a friend that lost her mother and her younger sister in the past 6 months. And it's not "exotic", it's just the way people from different cultures, different backgrounds can look et a crucial moment in life, and it can tell someone a lot.

Life is beautiful.

Thank you very much AlainK.
Yes, it is terrible situation in China at this time. I wish every thing will be under control soon there !
You are correct . Tết means the period around the 1st day of the new year. It starts from the 23 rd day of last month of the year and ends at the 10th day of the 1st month of the year.

Thanks for the link . I will watch it later on.
