I just put this forest together and it’s starting to grow really well. The large tree has large branches on the lower part. Do I want to cut them back now to get the top to grow larger?
If you just put it together, I would not prune until fall so the foliage can drive new root production. I have found that when big branches are pruned that there are normally several smaller shoots from around the cut that can be used if need in the design. If not needed, rub them off and the wound will callus over after a a few years.
