I think I understand Thomas.

However, I don't want this tree to get too big. It is in fact a shohin. So if I were to put it in a growbox, how would I create taper on this small scale? Would I keep the leader to the height I want it and let the branches grow wild? Starting with the bottom branch in order to fatten the bottom first.

The only club I have access to meets on a school night, so you guys and your explanations help me more than you know.

Cheers,
Mittar
