i need of some guidance

[tmmason10]

I'd too like to see any pics that this technique works. Have a JRP with a bit of r. taper.

And Adair, I too have tried the sphagnum moss on a Cypress, JBP, and a Larch...no luck either with new roots. I'm beginning to think that an approach graft is the only solution...

Sphagnum should work on the larch. I'll be separating a larch layer next year so stay tuned for those results.

Nice job. You can probably thin it even more in the late winter.

i may reduce the total height along with more needles
best time to reduce?

Anytime, now to spring, doesn't make much difference.
