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 replies.
