Jabon Tree

Years ago my tennis friend would bring me jabon from Kyushu when she came back.  Well, I was so happy and kept begging for more than one year she came back with a tree for me!  It has grown up quite a bit.  Here it is.  With the cutting of the pine trees, the jabon tree should be much happier!  Last year I pruned it like I used to help the folks do in Idaho.  I guess I did too much as there were no fruit last year.  This year there are a few blossoms which if you enlarge you can see are still in the bud.  When the flower comes out I'll have to pollinate them.
