Please Advise Me..
Hello to everyone,
I am new on this forum and I am also absolutelly beginner  I have recently bought my first tree, it is chinese privet. I like it, but I would like to corect some things. Only two main branches are thick and the rest is very thin. The tree is growing up (new leaves), but onnly top branches. Could you advise me, how to make the branches thicker in the lower part of a tree? I have read I should let them grow for a long time and then cut. But the tree is growing up only on the top.. What should I do? I would be also grateful fot any other suggestions about my tree  Rafal |

Welcome Rafal,
If this is your first tree, I would concentrate more on the techniques for keeping a tree a live and not too much on the styling of it just yet. That being said, the way to get your tree to grow more further down the branches is to trim the upper parts of the branches. You can either pinch off the new leaf buds as they form or just clip the new branchlets at the top. This will induce backbudding and growth further down the branches. Please visit the beginner FAQ section of the forums as it has more useful information than I can tell you about. Cheers.
