Default [IBC] back budding

what i have are 2 low branches that curve up, almost like extra trunks. i
was going for an 'umbrella'-like bunch on the ends of each of them. like
serengetti trees, wide but thin. so i stripped it to the ends, but i
realize that i need lower brnches to support it and wanted to do anything i
could to accelerate the back budding.

is it too late to do any wiring? how about cutting back branches that have
minimal growth so far?

Yes, if it is a healthy tree to begin with. If you
cut back when it was dormant. If youcut back after
budding out , you have the tree wasted the resources
it used to bud out.

So I don't know if you are talking about total
defoliation or expect budding out to occur in specific
places or what.

I completed trasplanting and shaping all my elms
already. I am in the California bay area. I have an
elm that has a nice trunk, but bad branches. Next
Janurary/February, I will remove all the dormant
branches. I will ge sprouting from the trunk. I will
save the sprouts I want for new branches and rub off
the rest.

Default [IBC] back budding

It is never too late to wire.

If you want to cut back branches to where there is no
growth, I would wait until next year, or if you must
wait until June when there is what is called a second
spring. First spring trees give a big energy push,
take a rest and do it all over again about June, but
with less vigor.

It is never too late to wire.

If you want to cut back branches to where there is no
growth, I would wait until next year, or if you must
wait until June when there is what is called a second
spring. First spring trees give a big energy push,
take a rest and do it all over again about June, but
with less vigor.

was going for an 'umbrella'-like bunch on the ends

serengetti trees, wide but thin. so i stripped it
to the ends, but i
realize that i need lower brnches to support it and
wanted to do anything i
could to accelerate the back budding.

is it too late to do any wiring? how about cutting
back branches that have
minimal growth so far?

Yes, if it is a healthy tree to begin with. If

you
cut back when it was dormant. If youcut back after
budding out , you have the tree wasted the

resources
it used to bud out.

So I don't know if you are talking about total
defoliation or expect budding out to occur in

specific
places or what.

I completed trasplanting and shaping all my elms
already. I am in the California bay area. I have

an
elm that has a nice trunk, but bad branches. Next
Janurary/February, I will remove all the dormant
branches. I will ge sprouting from the trunk. I

will
save the sprouts I want for new branches and rub

off
the rest.

It should bud back. Just try and stop it. I

keep
rubbing elm buds off of my tree trunks. Did

you
just
transplant as well?

PS your email address doesn't accept my

Chinese Elms bud back very easily. I co not use any special fertilizer. Chinese Elms will even bud on removed root cottings
