I have a couple of healthy JBP's that are now 6 years old and growing in pots. Would it be a bad thing to pinch/cut all of my candles, 'NOW', to approximately the same length as my shortest candles, on the lower branches, in order to balance things out for the rest of this years growing season... then do my usual late summer candle cutting on the second flush before fall? I'm trying to keep the trees somewhat compact and don't want a lot of long branches. I also don't want to damage my trees. Would this be a good idea, bad idea, or 'what'?
