I got this blue atlas cedar on a deep discount and am wondering what the next steps should be. I cut off the top ~6-10 inches late this summer and am wanting to ultimately cut at the blue line. Does anyone agree/disagree? Would it be too early to chop it this spring? I’m also wondering if I can air layer around the red line. Any feedback or guidance regarding the chops, pruning, or anything else is welcome.

An air layer is unlikely to work. As for the proposed chop, it depends how vigorous the tree is.
Hard to say because I got the tree after it was done growing for the season. Sounds like I should at least wait for some growth this spring before making a decision
