They are nice trees, but I had something larger in mind.

Yup I purchased one similar to the one pictured above although I think mine's even better
not bias or anything, haven't taken pics of it yet. Very nice nursery, i'm so lucky to live just 10 minutes away.
It's currently in a 3 or 4 gallon nursery can, growing on a tile. Luckily I'm going to get some help from George, with purning the candels. It's really nice to learn from them esp because they have dad so much experience and live in the same area so time-ing is the same. But, I am trying to learn as much as possible by myself so I don't bug them too much.
I believe I will put it in the ground next season and let a leader grow out while trying to keep the branches tight like you will do.
Thanks for the replys!
