Re: Trunk chop

I'd wait for two reasons- First you said the tree is weak. Have patience. The tree's health is ALWAYS paramount. Second, the buds have opened so it is just past the ideal time to do this, again going back to the fact that you have a weak tree...

I would let the tree regain it's strength, feed it well, then do it late winter.
