Today I Noticed this one has started to Leaf out. It’s been wintered in my unheated greenhouse and is the first to break bud. I Imagine I will have to keep it in the heated cold frame now until temps raise. I plan on chopping down, but am thinking I’ll wait till after first flush.
The 2 buds visible in the void died off, so I decided to try and layer the top off.
I it works, hopefully I’ll get some new buds below the layer. The top will be a nice start as well.
Well, layer was a fail. So I chopped it off a few weeks ago.
Getting some nice new growth to create a new top. That trunk is pretty dang straight, but I’m over it. I’ll just let it build character.
