So I have a maple that I chopped this year to get some more movement in the developing trunk. I have a new leader and a sacrifice about half way from the leader and base. The leader has grown 6ft or more so far this year. I should mention that the tree was also repotted into a larger grow box with only a limited amount of root work down during repotting.
How much growth can be expected out of a new leader if you keep all the branches off it and leave only a single terminal bud?
The mentioned sacrifice has grown about 4 -5ft and has just recently split into like 5 different growth buds. I am also trying to figure out, if I should choose 1 and remove the others.
The leader, even though it is longer than 6 ft is only about 1/2" thick.
