And the blossoms just keep on opening

4. It's a tree that grew out of a stump

There were two flowering trees, planted right next to each other. They both appeared to have died, and were cut back to the stumps. When I moved in, I noticed some of the sprigs growing out of the stumps were pretty healthy and it did look like a bush. I picked the strongest and straightest, and keep trimming and pruning until, eventually, I turned the stump back into a tree.
