I didn't want to cut it.

Plus, I can select seeds which grow faster than others. And no need to disturb roots in this case. I always think young trees have opportunity to adapt well to the space. <br /><br />I have space for this tree about 6mx6m (at public land allocation, close to sidewalk & driveway) I am wondering if I need to prune it & to train it later, 2.5 meters above road & sidewalk should be clear.<br /><br />Thank you!<br />Fuad Efendi [2]https://www.blogger.com/profile/06355852602236834160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29834831.post-40232934373242056852018-10-29T18:58:39.971-07:002018-10-29T18:58:39.971-07:00Update: The tree itself has grown beautifully.
