Hi guys, I'm at work, so I will add photos later when I get home, but wanted to start getting some thoughts.
The tree was collected four weeks ago and I cut roots back hard then put it in a grow box and tried to keep it out of frosts and watered.
This week, it is pushing leaves like crazy and it is budding all over the trunk and the branches I retained.
My first question about this tree is about the buds. Should I worry about selecting buds now in the first year or should I let it grow wild for a season to recover from collection? To be honest, it is growing more vigorously than any other tree in my collection to this point in the season.
