Prunus flowering cherry

[Victorim]

This might be as good as it gets for the bloom this year. Though there is still some to open I can see the first to open on the right are starting to turn. And this unusual weather might accelerate the fade.. So, apologies to anyone sick of seeing this tree Lets see what this season brings for it.

So. Here it is now. My plan was to significantly shorten the branches in June. I know I loose alot of the current ramification but I think it really needs compacting.

But I was really expecting, well more "growth" by now.. is there something I'm missing here?

Looks like the soil it is staying too wet judging by what appears to be algae on the soil surface.

I need to clean that off. The resent seaweed doses have set it off from the trunk. Is in pure large particle DE so drains and dries well.

Well it has had a major repot into my soil, and was very organic and bound before. Instinct is telling me to leave it grow. Maybe minor snips early August if it decides to take off. I think next year will be a different picture. Can't say I'm disappointed for a similar flower show
