This is fast.... But what I noticed is the fast thickening of the trunk. This was nicely grafted and up till now the graft union is quite smooth and if there wasn't diference in the bark of the species and that of 'Ogon', it would be totally invisible.
Early May 2011
November 2011 showing her autumn colors.
September 2012 at 7 feet tall now.
last August she lost her top, 5 inches off the leader. Without me taking any action, she raised the highest branch which was coming at 90 deegres angle off the trunck and made it a new leader. No staking at all. In the November image you see the branch at almost 'leader position'. Now the past is barely visible and only if you know. She lost a bit of her shape though and she is not perfectly pyramid shaped now.
A bit wethered from the dry weather this year but she's still quite a vigorous grower!
Best regards,
Fotis
