Yes and no. If the old wood is still healthy, you can scratch the bark
with your thumb nail and see the green of the cambium below it. If it is
brown, you've lost the branch. Usually, it's best to prune satsuki branches
above green leaves to be sure that the branch remains viable.

I was wondering if Satsuki's will reliably sprout from old wood, anyone
have experience with this?

Thanks
