Dimitrios:

Can you post an image of the tree? I will then advise you on how to best manage the energy of the tree.

Cordially,

Subject: [IBC] Chinese Elm (non) branching


Too many questions from me lately, I know, but as I
get involved more and more, I face new challenges
every day.

I started a Chinese Elm from seed a few months ago,
and now the seedling has developed into a nice,
straight 8-inch long trunk that has no branches at
all.
It just keeps growing and growing, producing new
leaves, getting taller but no branches have been
formed yet.

Can I induce branching by cutting the top off just
above a pair of leaves ?
How can I make it stop getting taller and direct most
if its energy into growing sideways ?


thanks (again)
Dimitris
