Our Charlie Brown Kwanzan Tree Progress- Buds Are Popping

It won’t be long now til the tree is in full bloom.  I’m still debating whether to pull it and replace it with something that will grow better.  We got it and it hasn’t grown all that much in the four or five years we’ve had it and I’d like something that will really spread out and grow larger than what we’re getting out of this one.  the blooms on the Kwanzan are stunning though and each pod produces three distinct flowers when they pop.
