Fraiser Fir, 4 leaders

[wysiwyg]

I noticed tonight that one of our 7 foot Fraisers did not sprout a leader, and 4 other side sprouts are vying to take its place. Is this a good time to reduce them to one single leader?

Anyone?

I agree, give it til next spring to see if a terminal bud in that whorl that releases with the spring sap flow. Betcha a nickel there is and it does. If one doesn't by June, yes pick the strongest one and lash it straight.
