During 94, the plant grew very well, as a mater of fact, after the pruning, new buds sprouted every where, after only 5 days.
The picture is from the end of April 95. I had just pruned a lot of last years new growth and left some sacrificial twigs that should help some of the new branches to become more even in size with the old ones. Now I intended to let the tree grow freely during this growth period.
