Here's photos of my Desert Willow tree. I planted what looked like a dead stick in March 2012. The first photo is from May 2013, I had pruned the lower branches in the winter before.
The second photo was taken today, November 2013. It may not show, but the trunk has thickened up since May. :-) The photo cuts the top off; there is another foot high that isn't showing. It bloomed through October! I know the brick cutout is tiny. I'm deep watering it and, hopefully, it will be happy here because I love this tree!
