I was taking a photo so I could blog about Twiggy, my dwarf tangerine tree when I decided I didn't like her bushy shape. Even though I pruned most of the excess twigs off when I received her from Gurney's back in November 2010, she is still wanting to become a bush and not a tree. I don't have room to overwinter a bunch or wide bushes, so a slender tree is preferable. I couldn't really find a branch that seemed a suitable central leader. I cut off all branches but one. I'm hoping a strong branch will grow out near the center and become the lead branch. She's never flowered, so I probably just set her back a year.
