Doing nice

Leave for another year, then chop the current leader back to get back budding to use a new leader to grow on again

Man, who did the tile job for you? It's terible! Oops wrong comment. The crabapple looks great. Yep, let it grow then chop back and keep repeating the process till ... Damn, Jamie will say I steal his line :)
Always we hope someone else has the answer.

The new low branch has funny looking leaves. Is it on a graft rootstock?
