5 year old buck +
Today I'm going to start bud capping 1 year old norway spruce 4a plugs. Most of them are obviously quite small. If I staple a folded index card over the leader, which also happens to cover most of the tree itself, will that harm or even kill the tree this coming growing season? Many of these trees are only 8" tall, with almost all the good, green needles being right at the top. Thanks for the help.
