Phoenix Risings.

The Phoenix Vine has broken bud and is looking healthy, vigorous and wanting to get on with the business of growing.

Some of the buds have two shoots at each station. This is not a problem at the moment but later in the year after flowering I may reduce them to one per station to prevent canopy overcrowding.

Five of the six Phoenix cuttings look like they are rooting. The best three will be transplanted on the allotment in the autumn.
