Hi all. I was wondering if it's appropriate to pinch deciduous buds if I repotted a new tree I bought from nursery. I didn't mess with the root system, I will study the roots next spring at the right season.
As a beginner, I read different things about this topic some I read say to give the tree time to establish again, but I didn't take the rootball apart or did any root pruning, I simply repotted because the original pot was made of really cheap plastic.
So should I wait to pinch the buds, or do it now? I don't want the tree to grow internodes and get tall before next spring. I'd rather have some of the growth focus on making the inner medium branches become a little bit "fuller", instead of growing taller and taller. Thanks in advance!
