Pick some of the branches to keep short, and let others grow out as sacrifice branches. Keep the sacrifice branches from shading out the short branches.
I moved and lost a few trees. One hemlock in the heat of the summer, neglected and lost it. Also lost the two in the pond pot. Since have been replaced. Bought a small tree the other day, any clue first Pic id? Also got this tamarack tree. And others. My juniper is still doing well as is my white pine.
