Do we care about long internodes on developing trees if we plan on chopping them anyways once desired size is accomplished? First spring seeing all my trees leaf out, I don't have the best light but enough to keep them happy, but the result is some longer internodes. I know pruning and pinching weakens trees, and my goal is to promote growth and size right now to develop good bases. So my plan is to let them grow within reason while making sure inner nodes don't get crowded out on parts I plan to use in the future.
Example: my trident maple has some beefy leaves near the top and some long internodes, but i'm planning to chop it at the first branch at some point.
Some insight would be great.
