another question about the same tree. I haven't really googled yet, i thought i would start here
if I cut this tree back dramatically, to 12-18 inches, would it not essentially turn it into more of a bush (with subsequent continued pruning or pinching of branch tips)?
Just not sure how well it would respond to trying to force to a bush form.
The tree was really stretching for light so it is about 6 feet tall and very thin, with all branching at the top. I've cleared the area so it will have more sun and presumably be more compact.
