The gardener said to pretend you are a deer and nibble (trim) all the ends off and it would bush out more and have more fruit! Unfortunately we didn't find out whether his advice would have worked as our (late) golden retriever, Ben, decided he really liked it and chewed the trunk completely in half-and that was the end of that!!! lol.Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12465050441931715127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-49212411960902696572015-03-01T16:57:36.935+00:002015-03-01T16:57:36.935+00:00I have a teeny tiny one of these on the windowsill...I have a teeny tiny one of these on the windowsill.
