Hi all,
I have a pretty old plum tree that was let go for decades. It is probably 30 feet tall. It has very few lower branches, someone pruned it like a shade tree and raised the umbrella. I had one branch grow pretty low last year and have been protecting it but is there a way to encourage it to branch lower?
I didn’t have this problem with the overgrown apple trees. They had been let go for decades too but they didn’t have any problem growing lower branches and I’ve been able to take the tops off over the last 6 years.
Thanks,
Bob
