Message: [QUOTE="Marck, post: 217591, member: 15114"] Greetings, welcome to the Forums. This Honey Locust ([I]Gleditsia triacanthos [/I]cultivar) is still quite young and is well-shaped for a young sapling that is still putting on height. Don't anything at this point but let it grow. Removing side branches will just make the tree look more bare. If you want to remove anything, it is the leader terminus. Tipping the tree in this way will likely cause side branching. though the tree might just try to form a secondary leader and keep going up. In any case, don't take the word 'match' to literally. If this sapling ever does begin to resemble the older tree, it will be several years down the road. [/QUOTE]
