I think we have to distinguish expectations of back budding between a deciduous and an evergreen.
Chops that could be made on an elm or maple would generally never be tried on a juniper or pine.
I believe it's generally agreed that conifers won't push new buds without having foliage remaining on the tree.
For that reason I think it would be very unlikely that you would ever see one of these ERC that has been chopped down push new growth.
True.
By back budding, I am referring to new buds forming further back on the branches and/or trunk after pruning. Not the very common growth at the branch joints. No one should ever chop a pine or conifer back to nothing.
