1. You want two layers on each branch or one?
One on each branch will certainly work. Two on each branch might work

2. Is this the tree you posted before? Why would you want to do this? Why, that is, propagate the worst part of the tree, and what would you have afterwards?

Regards,

Matt

Actually one on each branch.

Yes it's the same tree, I would do this here.
I would let this tree grow for a year before doing the trunk chop like discuss earlier. While it grow this summer, I would do some layer on it. (2x red lines) and keep the trunk for another tree next year.

Or maybe the layer will slow down the growth.

Well, the Y thing has some pretty long internodes and little taper. It's actually very close to reverse taper.

You need to weigh the possible end product against the opportunity cost in working with the "real tree" at the bottom - where you could be healing wounds and not getting similar reverse taper going there.

I don't think we discussed in the original thread

what kind of tree this is?

Matt
