Post #5639279

Greetings,

I have a couple of cypresses (one is blue and one is green, with yellow edging) that are about 4 or 5' tall. Both of these specimens have developed a dual trunk at about 12 inches off of the ground.

I want to cut out one of the 'branches' so that the trees will develop a central leader. In the process, I would like to try to take the left-overs (the stray branch is a few feet long) and try to root them.

I am looking for the best time to do this.

thanks!

jt
