Hi Guys;

Question about Plum seedlings:

Last year, I got 25 Dunbars Plum seedlings (6") from OIKOS.
I planted them in a little nursery, they are now 24" tall.

These things have leaves every inch, from the ground up!
They each have a couple 'branches' near the top, but a leaf every inch on those, too!

Do you guys allow every leaf / stem / tiny branch to grow out?
I stripped the leaves off a few from about 16" down to the ground, trying to encourage vertical growth.

These things are a one-bush thicket!
What would you do?

All comments gratefully received.
