I got the 3 month old seedling for $12 bc at the time grafted trees were price-gouged bc of Covid. I figured I could graft mature branches on it but it grew so fast and started flowering so young I didn’t bother.

Guess we’ll see what happens.

Since they’re primarily a winter-flowering tree, I companion planted crocuses to attract more pollinators. So far I’ve seen sweat bees and other small insects at the flowers.
