So there’s a pretty great P. Strobus at a local nursery I think I’m going to go back to and try to buy (as long as it is not gone). It’s a pendulous cultivar, but forgot the specific name. It was pretty great looking already and decent size. I plan on leaving in nursery pot for some time to let it grow out. From what I have read they can be difficult, but I’m willing to try.
What is best method for needle reduction OR creating nice topiary pads? I know candle pruning in spring is the best practice method for maintaining size, but can I snip the older needles?
Is it too early to do some pruning and remove some branches? Best waited until fall?
Wiring. I know they are known for branch breakage and wood splitting. Best if not wired due to this?
Photos will come once purchased.
