Blessed synchronicity.
I was out taking photos of Penny about half an hour ago.
She's pregnant! Well, blooming anyway. Each blossom is a potential cherry, although I don't expect too much from her this year.
At least it proves I followed the pruning instructions correctly. Or at least didn't kill her.
Ooh, just found this...
here she is last year (Cellar post with a SFW youtube clip on an account I no longer use).
Crikey me she's shot up. This time last year she would have been (as I say in the vid) just a barren stick. I thought she was
two years with me already.
So as you can see below, she has blossoms out and leaves a-coming.
And look at how her pruned branches are thickening. Yay. Proud first time tree wrangler.
