A: Yes. By selectively pruning lower branches and encouraging a central leader, it can be trained into a beautiful, multi-trunked small tree.

Q: Is it suitable for a small garden?
A: No, its mature size is too large for most small urban gardens. It is best suited for properties where it has ample space to develop its natural form.
