- Beautiful Baby Pink flowers have come on this tree. Both the branches have grown beautifully. Once the flower falls, i will pinch the leaves & buds such that new branches shoot out. It may be difficult to bring the 2nd branch downwards, but let see what happens. The leaves will be as such less, for I am shaping it into a literati style.
