That’s what I meant with the original post I just re read it and I wrote it weird...Any chance on instead of jinning the lower branch, turn it into a new leader with a truck chop to there to try getting more back budding?
When I saw the tree, I was thinking the opposite? Change the planting angle so the trunk isn’t so straight, Jin/carve the left side and work with the bottom branch. That could be a nice medium-size tree with a giant trunk!Any chance on instead of jinning the lower branch, turn it into a new leader with a truck chop to there to try getting more back budding?
Yeah, that would be the plan. I wonder what the roots look like in that huge bucket?When I saw the tree, I was thinking the opposite? Change the planting angle so the trunk isn’t so straight, Jin/carve the left side and work with the bottom branch. That could be a nice medium-size tree with a giant trunk!

Very well could be. Larch was my first guess, the needles are soft. I’ll ask the nursery tomorrow see if they know the exact.Lots of trunk for $25... fwiw, I think those are cedars... Cedrus species...
The nursery down the road from me had a bunch of old trees marked $25. I think this is a larch but it’s the best of a the bunch there’s a low branch I could eventually Jin the top. What do you think? Worth it or a headache.
