weeping white pine

18 years ago

Hi,

I hope this is the right forum to ask this question. if not, can someone redirect me? thanks:

i am about to buy a 5' high pinus strobus pendula. i heard that i might need to /want to train it, if i want to achieve that tumbling, hunched-over old man look. something about "training the middle leader?"

But I can't get any more info than that. any advice would be appreciated.
