Seedling
I collected this tree from a landscape about 4-5 weeks ago, I wouldn't say it had been growing vigorously but it was relatively healthy. The roots were not extensive but they looked healthy. Originally they stood about 8-9 ft tall. Being my first time collecting material I was a little hesitant to do a severe trunk chop so I chopped each trunk down to where the lowest growth was coming from. As you can see, the trunk on the left had some growth much lower. I am now thinking that I should have just chopped the other trunk (on the right) to the desired height. Is it OK to do that at this point? The trees seem to be doing well so far - they lost some leaves in the weeks right after I collected them but have since perked up a bit and the ends seem to be pushing new growth. They are in full morning sun, then shaded from the afternoon sun and misted with irrigation about 3-4 times a day. I am located in zone 9b.
Thanks!
