My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

H. Paniculata-as a standard?

19 years ago

I just received my H.P. "Pee Wee" from Forest Farms. In order to ship they had the 4 main branches tied together. I liked the effect, with just the top branches free to "billow in the breeze". Any advice how on how to train a Paniculata as a standard? There is no leafty growth except on the top branches so far. Should I "thumb" prune any new growth below the desired "top".
