Tipuana trimming

Recommended Posts

I need this Tipuana as a canopy tree, but it started to branch too low, how should I prune it?

Thanks

Training Tipuana is fairly easy... Tie the leader ( tallest, longest branch ) to a 9ft / 3 meter tall tree stake and remove the rest of the branches below it.  Leave a collar on the branches you remove ( don't cut them flush w/ the trunk ) Your goal is to have all the tree's energy focused on building it's canopy.

Did someone say  " Monster "  Tipuana ?  ..Biggest in the Valley, possibly neck in neck w/ the specimens up at Boyce Thompson.

Imagine the garden one could create if you had enough space to have half a dozen of these blocking the sun.

Tomas, great texture for orchid roots and seeds  :D

Epiphyte, nearly no orchids in the garden, the real masters are slugs and snails, and I better obey :crying:
