I was under the impression that the auxins of the apical or primary meristems of a branch actually supress the growth of the lateral or secondary meristematic tissue, and that when you pinch the primary growth away it reduces the imhibiting auxins allowing for the growth of lateral branches.
Am I under the wrong impression?
I love the maple, by the way. I'd love to see it leafed out.
