It's too late to worry about it now. The new growth is already out, so
it'll have to sink or swim on its own. The only thing to do now is WAIT!
One caveat - don't do any more pruning 'til next year.

Subject: [IBC] late growing cottoneaster


I have a cottoneaster that i trunk chopped this spring. I took forever for
it to bud out again. then finally started sending out suckers from the
roots (this was june).. which i constantly removed.(i thought i had lost
it
and cottoneasters couldnt be chopped like that) finally it started to
sprout from around the cut... but it wasnt untill mid-late july that it
finally started to take off with some growth. its got a beatuiful
beginning
now.. a big leader which i'm forming into a cascade and many alternating
side branches off of it.. ranging from 4" to a foot. very green. no
flowers
or fruit yet. my concern is that it started so late... is this going to
harm the plant whe fall get here??? is there anything i should do??

thanks steve lancaster PA
