just had a couple of questions for someone who might know.

1. i was wonderingif one has a tree that one is trying to let grow out, i.e. trunk development should one prune? im figuring that i should keep leafing and branches down to a minimum on trunk and close to it, yes? just to prevent reverse taper right?

2. what are the results of defoliating and leaving foliage only out towards the tips of a branch within reason of course, would this promote outward growth and longer branches or would the tree just put out new leaves where they had been removed?

3. just started organic fertilizers month ago and am really impressed, darker leaves, etc. fertilizing with blood meal and bone meal but wondering if any had a good suggestion on a source for potash (k)?

thanks not really important questions just things i am wondering about at work while im waiting to get home to the trees...
