2 Jan 2020 - I've been tip-pruning to encourage bushiness and upwards shape.
5 Feb 2020 - last weekend I clipped off the under branches, to ensure all were facing in an upward direction.
Recent rains will do it good, I believe.
29 Feb 2020 - I continue to tip-prune it, so as to 'bush up' the inner centre and to control the shape. On the whole, I am so happy she is growing well.

7 April 2020 - looking big and round. I have been pruning off any foliage leaning down and too far out, to encourage thickening up and upward growth. Loving all the flowers.
20 April 2020 - I re-staked the tree, as it was leaning to one side with it's weak cane prop. It suddenly looks a bit lopsided, but I will prune it to be straight and balanced again, eventually.
It has grown a lot this past season. I would like her to grow taller than the fence.

27 Nov 2020 - It's having a growth spurt at the moment. I have pruned it to be heading upwards, and have fed it several applications of potash.
Dec 10, 2020 - Lovely flowers.
