Thank you, Brian! That's a lot of good information! Now, see, I find that mine do growth spurts every month or couple of months...at least four since early spring. Isn't that strange? Or is it a flawed observation? The tree will be tipped with new growth all over, then the growth hardens and greens up, then waits several weeks or a month, then all new growth again. Hmmmm.

How much do you feel safe trimming off of a immature but well growing root base?
