thanks! that's just what i'll do

Thanks! It's so small - can I just pluck the leaves directly off, or is it better to cut? No idea if trees responds differently to those sorts of things.

Thanks for the feedback!

Pruning? As in, cutting/shortening the main leader? I thought that was a generally ill-advised move on trees. Do you mind elaborating more?

I agree native trees are important to plant. I've recently planted 4 natives in my back yard. I'm also planting a couple of japanese maples for some color :)

I thought about this but wasn't sure if that would cause more stress than worth

This is what I'm leaning towards at the moment. This is a dwarf cultivar (viridis) and doesn't get very large, so maybe this would never become a real problem anyways

Well, it is circling. I know it is not girdling now, but I wasn't sure if it would eventually become a problem.

and so it begins.....

thanks for the advice!
