Okay, so I went and bought a second tree this morning and noticed something on all of the ones that were there... they're grafted. I really like the angles in the trunk and the branches on the second tree so I went ahead and bought it anyway. (IMG 9476 and 9477)
So naturally I took another look at the one I have at home too, and I'm not sure how I missed it but that one is grafted too, albeit very tidily. (IMG 9478)
I think I may try to use a tourniquet and ground layer both trees a little way up from the graft. I'm guessing that should also put me better on the way to a more manageable root system if it works out? Can I just wrap wire around a couple of times so it won't heal back over?
