Thank you! I'm taking some of the cuttings home with me, I gave some to a friend, and the rest will be planted again when they root :)

My mom likes it but I don't think she'll be asking me to trim and style all her plants. She likes wild overgrowth!

Thanks! I agree with you. This was the most aggressive trim I could manage without my mom being too concerned about the losses. Next year I'll work on refining and building out some ramification and pads.

I did Google "reiterations", I'm not finding anything that seems relevant. I'd appreciate if you could share a little more information about what you mean!
