I've noticed my bottom 3 branches are almost leafness now, but the upper 6 long shoots seem mostly unaffected yet. should I cut back some of this top where the energy is apparently going so the bottom gets some?
or is this not like when you need to prune the top to get more vigorous growth below, like when ding a thresd graft low on a tree? mine didn't take until I cut back the top.
I just have 2 key low branches and so i'm slightly paranoid about losing them, drying up.
thanks.
