I splinted the break with two wooden school rulers and some teflon tape and now, thirty years later, the tree is very large and in robust health! It might be important to catch the damage quickly (that is, maybe it's a bit late now?) but you could try. -- Trish Brown {|:-} Newcastle, NSW, Australia |

Only choice available then is to tbud the pink iceberg back on. Also consider how you stake the plant. You have to be able to support the weight of the top growth. The stem of a standard after a few years just hasn't got the guts to do it. |
