Hi
We've just (8 days ago) planted a new (2 year old) pear tree. This
afternoon, I noticed that one of the main branches looks dead for the top
three inches or so.
What should I do? Leave it, prune it, do something else to it? If I
should
prune it, where?
If it is dead and dying back it might well just be stress caused by moving
from its nice cosseted nursery life to your brutal garden (;-). You do not
want to leave dead wood to rot and be a source of infection, cut back to
0.5/1.0 cm above a healthy bud.
Agreed. Try to pick a bud which will throw a branchlet in the
direction that you want it to.
