Nic,
For me, I take care of them in the initial styling, always aware that I wont want one later on the wrong side of a bend. Then, I just don't let 'em grow back! I know . . .far to simplistic.

Subject: [IBC] "Handle bar" branches???


Wondering what path y'all take when you are faced with a tree that likes to
throw handle bar branches, or "T", you know, the branches that grow one
accross from the other, and always do. Any particular ideas or approach?
