Flowering Plum

This little guy is doing nicely even though some crackpot gardener took his pruning shears to it last fall while I wasn't looking. He actually topped the poor little guy before I could race outside and stop him. I'm not sure which of these new sprouts will take over as the leader, but after the summer growth is over, I'll pick one and brace him up to be the leader. Needless to say, the crackpot gardener isn't allowed in my yard anymore.
