We have a three year old Jacaranda tree in our front garden which is approx 3m in height. It has a double branch which is common. As both branches are close the base of the tree, my wife has looped both of them around each other. Is this a good idea or will it eventually ruin the growth. I believe that both branches should grow freely or one should be pruned. Would like your advise as we both love this tree species and want to grow others.
