Hi everyone,
I just recently bought a young American Beech (7ft) and it has been pruned in a conical fashion. All of the lower branches have been left on the tree. Is this the correct technique for a young Beech? Most other shade trees I have bought have had their lower branches pruned to, I think, encourage upward growth and crowning. Do American Beeches grow differently? I would like it to crown and to become a nice shade tree (in many years).
Thanks.
