Hi Everyone I'm new on here and after some advice.

I recently bought a JBP and I can find lots of videos about development of older trees but not a lot about younger stock.

The tree I've picked up is about 3ft high, 8" between each whorl.

I'm going to slip pot it into an aqua basket and grow on but my question is...

Do I wire the trunk as it's still flexible and go for back budding to develop branches in-between the 8" gaps

Or do I make a chop and shorten the height and work from there?

I would wire sometime between now and 3 years into the future.

I would not cut anything until I find evidence off inverse taper starting to develop. The tree needs foliage to grow trunk.

I also tend to decandeling my young JBP every other year. That promotes backbudding, but inhibits trunk thickening. It is a delicate balance. It is also possible to work on trunk thickness first and backbudding later. But obviously there will be a lot of bigger scars to heal going forward.

I guess the final design and the time one can accept to get there both influences the best method.
