Sapling
I have a white oak with about an 1-1/2” diameter trunk that I chopped And brought home Sunday. There is only one branch not quite the diameter of a pencil coming out at almost ground level. Should I cut that branch and allow all new budding or leave it? I know it was mentioned that cypress trees Do best when you cut all limbs back and allow to bud all new branches after a chop. Are oaks the same or is it ok to leave for now? There are a handful of buds about a half inch below the chop already as well.
