Bust'n Buds

Hi BW, You have nothing to worry about. Cork bark elms will bust buds were they feel like it, when they feel like it. New growth, old wood, makes no difference. Below is are pictures of one of my cork bark elms the first picture shows the hard prune. The second shows it 6 months later with our very own Ianb. The last what I hope in my minds eye what it will look like.

So fear not and good luck.
