Just wondering what specifically if anything I should be doing over the next few years. Pinus parviflora. Grafted glauca brevifolia, about 1 of 10 that I am happy with. It’s pretty vigorous for the winter we had and actually also the fall. Do I remove or reduce strong weak if any candles. My only goal is grow it larger without aiding any structural flaws. Holla.
Long needle single flush, let it grow and grow and Post harden candle select out any structural flaws or prune for direction, I believe
I think that as long as you feed it, water it, brush it and take it for walks it will be a happy and healthy organism.

Please everyone knows a happy tree needs a lot of belly rubs (trunk) and scratches behind the ears (candles).

I just realized i loaded that picture, ha (laughed once out loud)
Well what I’m wondering about specifically is after all these candles lengthen and then harden off ,or at least before fall growth, I go back in and prune out unwanted shoots? Simply to avoid structural flaws. Sounds correct?
