Sapling
I couldn't pass up a 2-inch trunk for $25, so I picked up a couple of the variety "Lime Glow" at a nursery.
I hacked off the largest and straightest branches with the least taper, but am now at a crossroads as to how to proceed. The main trunk could be made of the lone vertical branch or one of the numerous branches splitting out more, well, horizontally.
If I were to use the vertical branch, as opposed to chopping and jinning it, I'd probably want to bend it back over the rest of the tree so it would run parallel over a lot of deadwood. I'd like to repot it into some proper substrate this coming spring, so I'll likely leave on plenty of foliage for extra juice in recovery.
Thoughts? Tips? Concerns?
