Hi all,
I have big stumped European Elm that I bought at a show last year. It is a double trunk that had really straight taper as you can see in the pic. I chopped it where the red marks show this winter. Anyway, since then the tree has been suckering profusely from the roots. I got tired off pulling them off, so what I am wondering is:
Can I threadgraft some suckers to the trunk, or will this not work because I may have lost the trunk?
Anyone have any experience with losing a trunk and can it be saved by threadgrafting? Its still green on both of the trunks. I dont have high hopes for any buds showing up on the trunk
Thanks much,
Tiberious
