Hi All,
I have bought myself a purple beech tree which is a bit about 7 ft tall. Its branches are a bit short...i think perhaps that i didnt buy a good specimen! (In my defence though i am a novice gardener)
Is there any way of making it fuller by pruning it???? Has any got a picture of what it should look like?? Should it have branches just at the top or all of the way down the trunk?
I believe that in 60 years it should be 60 ft tall...
Any advice much appreciated
