To pinch or not to pinch?
By Mark Fanjoy on Monday, March 26, 2001 - 04:33 pm:
I re potted an old Juniper last spring and now it's finally beginning to sprout new buds again after several years of dormancy. I'm very excited!
Now, do I just let it grow a little over the next year to "fill out" some of it's old hot spots, and trim a little as it goes, or should I immediately pinch the new growth as it comes? By the way, why do I pinch anyway, to promote "thickening" of the branches and existing growth?
All opinions are greatly appreciated!
