I do like formal upright larches and I can easily collect young trees. But I'm not sure what the best approach is.
The young plants in the forest have very little taper. Should I collect a young one (1 cm trunk diameter) chop it and let the branches grow for years to develop a tapered trunk?
Or can I use a bigger one that already has a trunk that is something like 3 cm and chop that at the desired height with a new leader and trim the higher branches.
The core is whether letting the branches on the trunk grow will create taper over time. As most larger branches will be low on the trunk that might work but would like to hear from someone with more experience with this species.
