Hi,
I was wondering what techniques can be used to develop taper in field growing conifers.
trunk chopping to a new leader is what I’m using for deciduous trees (to develop taper whilst field growing), does this technique work with coniferous species? How would you deal with candles/growth throughout the year? And how often can would you dig up to work on the roots?
The species I am working on right now are pine, juniper and cypress.
cheers
