Do you plan on forcing into dormancy this fall/winter? If so I would not prune it until you do so you have the best chance of blooms. Then you can prune it down to however you like, but I kind of like the shape... Maybe rotate it so it starts to lean the other way for the time being??... Just a thought.

I am no expert, but mine in zone 5 need a lot of sun water and fertilizer to bloom.

Can you get it outside? It will drop its leaves and grow new 'outdoor' leaves but I am sure the sun will help set buds on it. Have you seen it 'Y' yet? Some of mine took weeks and some of mine have yet to produce a 'Y' after a few months.

Clear as mud : ). ?

I wasn't planning on forcing dormancy as I don't have a place that I could actually do that. With regards to putting it outside I could do that but am a little worried that with it's current growth it is really susceptible to wind damage. If possible I'd like to keep it indoors.

I have been rotating it's position as it grows to try and get it to grow a little more fully (which may be part of the reason it's so topsy turvy) and if this is a fine approach I'll continue to do so.

The plant does have one may 'Y' of growth and several branches from each split so far. It has actually been Y'd for almost 2 years and still no hints of blooms.

Keep the input coming :)

If you choose to cut on it I would wait till it blooms.. There are a few places you can cut to shape it up but whats the rush?? LOL When you do looks like you have plenty of semi hard wood to root and start some new plants!

I guess I'm just not sure it will ever actually bloom in it's current condition. If you guys think that with that window and it's current condition/shape that it'll bloom I'll definitely leave it alone for a while and prune it properly later.

However, if there's room for improvement there I'm definitely open to suggestions.

Thanks again!
