Just making a thread to track progress and ask a few questions regarding the ume I picked up a few weeks ago from Maruyama. First trunk segment is unfortunately pretty straight, but the price was too hard to pass up, so I figure I can at least learn on this guy.
It looks like it was field grown and chopped / potted this spring and has since shot out a ton of new growth, continuing to actively grow as we speak.
I want to do some more cutbacks to establish a final trunk line, so I'm wondering when the best time to do this would be... Winter dormancy? Spring pre-flower? Spring post-flower?
In the meantime, there are some areas with 4-5 branches emerging at the same location, would it be safe to reduce these down to 1-2 to avoid any whorls forming?
Should I leave it in the nursery can for another season or try to repot into an anderson flat or similar?
