Kahless
Yamadori
I have a few crabapples and a hackberry growing in the ground to thicken the trunk. Do I just let all branches get wild and long as possible? Do I prune top branches and leave the lower ones? What if all the branches are at the top? Will these high branches still thicken the trunk or do only lower branches do this? I don't want inverse taper. Pics included of some that I have in the garden.
