Re: [IBC] Developing trunk taper in nursery stock
Alan G. a member of our Brevard Club has demonstrated this process with Bald
Cypress which are probably faster growing that the species you mentioned. What Alan says is cut to six inches or less the first year, the second year cut off all but one inch of the new growth. Each year you let the plant grow unpruned and then just before bud break cut off all but one inch of new grow. At the end of five years you have a 10 or 12 inch tree with lots of taper.

In the fall, I may have to shorten them so they will fit under a rose cone.
