Larry, What Jagua was trying to tell you was that this leaf stem , as you call it, is thikening and becoming woody. This will become a branch! This tree is trying like hell to make a new top on the tree. The tree wants to grow straight up, not sideways.

At this point it may be a leaf stem but it will become branch. If your plan is to make this a semi cascade then you need to cut it back pronto, else in a few more months it will be branch.

My attitude may stink to you, butt if you want to learn something the heed some advice and quit being so defensive. Use this as a learning expeirence and stop acting like you know so much. With the type of attitude you display here and the type of tree you have displayed here it is easy to see that your bonsai knowledge is limited. To emotionaly dismiss valuable help is ignorant.

Regards, Al
