The Inverse Taper Got By Me Fast: Cape Honeysuckle

[Firstflush]

Any hope here? It got by me so fast. I’m thinking I must keep that low left sacrifice below the inverse taper to hopefully fix the issue. Do you think the sacrifice branch is too high to fix? Lose the right branch too or keep?

They are a dime a dozen but this has some good movement….just a fun little project.

Maybe layer it off? But if they are truly a 'dime a dozen' why bother? Go do a little hunting and find something better.

Restrain the top a bit more and allow the low sacrifice to run. You have nothing to lose unless of course the nebari is poor to begin with. Then I would consider air layer.

I like the idea. Trim the top way back and let that sucker go. It is a very young tree. No big time invested yet.
Thanks.
