Hey everyone! Having brought this lemon cypress I am now trying to decide what to do with it. I think it should maybe be shorter? Not sure how to develop it. Any ideas and advice would be appreciated. I hope I haven't cut too much off it as I'm not sure if these will grow much. Their brethren appear to be rubbish at back budding(?). Not sure on these in that respect.
Should I make a twin trunk or dead wood or something completely different? Started off thinking of making the right branch deadwood and putting some movement into the left trunk with a make shift branch bender I'm planning to cobble together here, but saw the potential for a twin trunk 6 hours in.
These are super flexible! Looks a bit thin for scale right now though and can't see it thickening in a pot this size for years :0/ Have left the top with foliage so that the trunk can be shortened further accounting for the lack of growth/back budding (in case this is the case with these trees). Also couldn't get the spacing right for the branches either side of tge trunk so really hoping it will bud and branch. Haven't looked at the nebari yet. Just waiting to see if it takes this abuse first!
