This will be my first post ever on this forum so apologies if I'm doing it wrong!
Picked up this lovely bit of nursery stock today:
1/3 of a good root flare, not in an ideal place however. Back end does not seem to have many roots near the surface at all.
I have managed to turn into this:
I will be leaving it there with the pruning as I'm conscious about if having enough energy to make it through the winter, opened up enough to get a good amount of light in everywhere. Will prune more next season which brings me to my questions/discussion points
Unsure which of the lower 3 left branches to keep, I'm thinking either the middle or the lower. Once I have decided I'm unsure on how best to deal with the "knuckle" that's been created where they join the trunk.
My other question is apexes, how to best go about creating a good apex on the mugos?
Thanks for your time!
