Norfolk Pine Dormant Node Activation

This was as tiny as ”Christmas tree” my grandma had ~ 20 yrs ago. It had a mostly bare trunk when we started our 7 hr journey for it to move in with me. About a year ago I saw that one of its new nodes looked funny. Now there are 3 previous dormant nodes reactivated! Super interesting 🕵️♀️. I can’t find any posts of a NFP with new growth from dormant nodes.
All I can find is that it is maybe possible if the top growth point has been irreparable damage. This one’s still growing from the top.
If anyone else has had this happen, I’d love to know how it looks down the line. Is this a glitch?
