Moe-

Thanks so much for your help. I just have one more question for you. Since I don't want a tree that is more than a foot tall, I assume the trunk to be around 1.5-2" at the base. My tree right now is about 10" tall (the final height I want) but the trunk is only about .5" thick at the most right now. Would a trunk chop be beneficial now? I would chop it down to about 3" (just above the first branch that is currently on the tree). I am shooting for the elegant informal upright style. I will also halt pruning of any sort and let it grow for a while. Let me know what you would do.

Again, thanks.

-Tim
