Nine months later ...

No, no "blessed event." The tree began to languish last fall, and over the winter three of the five trunks died. The main one is alive, tho awfully peaked-looking; the second one is breaking new foliage near its base, but most of it is bare.

After that long, I can't remember anything I might have done wrong; my best guess is too much root stress too late in the season.

I'll see if I can post a picture tomorrow. Now, of course, the question of restyling is decided -- assuming it lives.
