Hello, i have tried to grow mornings for sometime and it has been difficult. Started off attempting to sprout over 12 seeds. 4 sprouted. Gave a few to family members. They did not live. One out of the rest, lived. It grew nicely to about 4 feet tall. It did not branch out. I looked into it and was informed to trim the top off so i did so. Took almost a year to start growing. Put it outside in a large pot and it has grown tall and still not branching out. It will be brought in to the house because we live in zone 5, Nebraska. What should i do. I would like to start more but i want to make this one bush out and not to tall for my house. Thank you
I am on my third year growing and learning. It would depend on your climate I am near Galveston. Last year I saw that while trees did not die before the first frost, temperatures in the 40s yellowed the leaves. Right now I am popping tops every couple of weeks to increase yield. Some of my trees are about 8 feet, others need more sun. Yes, if you cut it low, they will grow back bushier. However August is late in the season to do that (I think) If you cut them low to the ground and insulate them for freeze, next year your one trunk will become a many trunks. Starting out much like the one he has here. I insulted my trunks with a old black plastic pot stuffed full of pine needles, with a second slightly larger pot over that (and a brick to keep all in place). It all depends upon how hard or if you have a freeze.
