yeah sure did, it actually decided to split into two trees, i kept joking my dancers got a divorce! the "man" didnt make it thru our bitter ice storm last year, which was really sad, but the "lady" did and is due for a fancy repot this spring. Hopefully i left enough budding tips on her to get a good picture this year for the contest. if not, her long tender trunk form is loverly and is what i have focused on overall from the start
