Grafted flowering gum butchered
 

Have a small grafted flowering gum which was only starting to take off
when it got butchered by a fence falling on it during a windstorm.
Fortunately it now seems to be reshouting as eucalypts usually do when
they are damaged. Though with only about 2-3cm of the grafted portion
left, which is shooting, if the resprouting is coming from the
lignotuber, will it still be the grafted plant?

Also the stub is shooting as well, I assume we'd be best to just pluck
the leaf buds?

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jeremy

Remove the shoots from the bottom part.

No.

Hmmm, is it possible that the grafted part of the plant is shooting
then?

Thanks,
