Hi labouroflove,
I was actually hoping to make the tree branch out at the top. Would this method work there also? Also I like the fact that you said they like to be trees and want to beach when they're larger. Is that a possibility? I was just hoping I wouldn't have one tall skinny trunk with no branches forever. If that is the natural way of the tree, then I think I'd like to wait it out a while long and see what the natural growth is like. Thanks so much
