Hi,
So my little sapling became kind of wild, and I did prune it. I basically thinned it out removing crisscross branches, as well as a couple of brunches that grew at weird angles (for example, straight down.) I also removed another shoot that was growing pretty fast.
I don't know if the trunk will ever get tall enough: it splits pretty low to the ground, nothing I can do about it. I'm just hoping that I'll be able to get the sapling to resemble a tree, albeit a small one, in shape.
Right now it looks like a champagne flute. May I trim those long branches to give the crown a tidier shape, or should I wait till after the tree blooms next spring?
Thank you very much!
