Hello,
Purchased this podocarpus 2-3 years back, was already styled but in nursery soil. Half bare rooted 2 years ago and styled branches a bit and left it to grow till now to recover. Planning to prune the branches that shot straight up, maybe use one of them, refine the pads by working and pruning some leaves. Remove one thick branch not showing in this pic as its a bifurcation of 3.
Ideally would have compressed the left side as tree moves to the left and let the left side elongate and took the apex maybe to the right.
Looking at developed branches and defining branch at lower right guess I will do the opposite and elongate on right, compress left side.
-Wondering if apex is to go to right or left ???
-Is it better to do this now or late water before tree starts growing ?
Thanks
