Nice, i am liking your videos..kinda inspired me to document my walks and love for ornamentals on youtube

[@CentralVirginiaJungle]

thank you! i can’t wait to see them!

[@2good2leaveunow]

Do you prune the leaves?

[@CentralVirginiaJungle]

i haven’t just yet! I don’t think i will this year, since it’s still on the smaller side, but i will revisit that topic again in a few months.

[@2good2leaveunow]

@CentralVirginiaJungle When you prune it tells the tree to direct energy to new growth. If the leaf is brown you should remove it. It also improves the appearance of the tree. I assume you fertilize.

@@2good2leaveunow Yes! The leaves at the bottom still are largely green so i’ll keep them around for a little longer. sooner or later they will turn brown naturally!
