Hi Jarod, it might just be my PC but I don't think your Picture has come through properly.

Thats a ripper Jarrod.
It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

I see it. The plums are ripe for eating over here in the UK. Good use of the mother and daughter style Jarrod. It should prove to be a nice tree. 8-)

Nice start Jarrod
have you thought about shortening the Rh Trunk? for me it is too long.
It could be cut back to the Small branch on the RHs of it and using that as a new leader for that trunk.

Love the flowers :-)

Thanks for the comments guys, Definitely will sort it out soon. Though I do have to be careful as this is the other halfs tree, well that's what she thinks so i cant be too vicious with it :(

The top will be brought under control and the branches laid out nicely once it has finished flowering. It is starting to ramify nicely.

Once again, Cheers guys.

Update. Had to regrow a branch on the left which was knocked off by a falling gum tree branch. Looking it's best at this lovely time of the year!

What an improvement over 3 years. I love the contrast with the dark, old trunk and the fresh, new, white blossoms. Love it. :hooray:
