Hemlock

This post is going to be about trimming one of my hemlocks.  I got this tree in the spring and just let it grow throughout the summer.  During that period, it grew a lot!  Here are the before pictures.




So what I did was pinch the new growth and trim some of the branches.  I tried to make the top branches shorter than the bottom branches.

Pinch the new growth off to avoid dead ends.

I also removed branches that went straight up.  Here are the after pictures.


The trimmings.



My cat Bo was very intrigued by the hemlock.
