And here an update of the Prunus serotina ...
The crown seems to be a bit to "twiggy", I mean the branches are very thin.
But there is a huge amount of buds. Next flushing in spring will bring a whole lotta energy into the ramification to thicken the twiggies ...
And for all of the european audience: The tree is for sale. You will rarely find another specimen of Prunus serotina this size with a Kevin Wilson carving ...
