Have read about the benefit of "removing" leaves (lately in regards to removing those fall leaves that haven't dropped yet) Am specifically wondering:
"Is there damage done to the remaining bud by grabbing the leaf stem and plucking?" vs.
"Is cutting the leaf stem the best/proper way to remove leaves, leaving the remaining stub to fall on it's own?"
"Is the timing and benefit or end result of removing leaves the same, whether done during spring/summer/fall (to encourage growth/back bud)?"
"If cutting leaves off, is there any real difference, based on how much leaf stem stub is left on the plant, (does it matter if leaf stem is cut close to the bud or the leaf)?"
