Clump birch planting question
Hello all,
I have two small (8-10ft) whitespire birch trees. The trunks on each are close to each other, and a bit intertwined. When I plant the tree, is there a way to safely train the trunks to separate ?? Your advice is greatly appreciated. -jack |

Clump birch planting question
Yes. While still young and supple, I would stake out the trunks, pulling
them apart (or perhaps just one, if that would create a more attractive shape). I just use black cord and bamboo stakes, being careful to pad the trunk around which the cord goes. For padding I usually slice a bit of bicycle tire innertube and place it between trunk and cord. Dave "Jack" wrote in message news:VGjHa.9064$PY2.7981@lakeread05...
