I’m getting ready to do a light prune on my Hinoki; Chamaecyparis Obtusa "Gracilis". It’s got very long slender branches with minimal secondary branching and I was wondering if there is a good way to prune to promote secondary branching? It’s about 40 inches high and these branches are maybe 1/2 way up the trunk.
I put some white paper under some photos of the branches coming off the main trunk just so it’s a little clearer. On a plus note I have a lot of interior growth on the tree. It’s a an “slender Hinoki” variety, apparently they have less whorls than an nana. Seems similar to a Wells Special from what I’ve seen?
Any help is always appreciated.
