Not a good time of day to shoot, and also hard to get a shot of something as large as this! I can't decide whether or not to prune the new suckers.

It looks even better this year with lots more buds.

Alttara is right, it's not the easiest tree to photograph< especialy mine with a dark background of hemlocks.
Annyway, mine is a two-trunked tree, but those two trunks are from a single trunk splitted at 8" off the ground.
I limb it up to 4', but probably will do higher next spring.
Last year it produced strog vertical shot from the base (it's in 8' range already) and I'll keep it.

April's sceleton (Abelia mosanensis is on a right, Heptacodium is on a left)

As of today

Can I join the Heptacodium lovers club with the rest of you? My younger one in the foreground is trained to a single stalk, while the older one in the background has 3 stalks.

Here are mine last September 10th with flowers:

And October 19th-red calyxes:

Red calyxes remaining still on November 5th:
