Considered layering the top off?
That's a good idea. It is supposed to rain until Thursday, so I have a couple of days. That would give me three, since I was going to cut all three main branches.
Hmm, three medium size vs a dozen or more small cuttings. Hmmm. I can probably stash all the cutting somewhere, but where do I put three more mediums? Hmmm.
Like I don't have enough to think about already.
