What is this TRUNK CHOP ? (Acer)
Did a search with meager results for my purpose. Which is......to find out what it is.
I assume it is chopping the trunk. (Quick, huh?)
But..... now that my first AIR LAYER is looking like it wants to thrive, I have the pore ole ...mother tree.... looking like a good candidate for kindling or mulch.
It has such a nice taper and twist that I am ashamed I had to air layer the top off from having REALLY messed up the lower branches.
So...now I have a living stick with some really messed up branches on it.
Thus my question. Can I just CHOP this thing down to where I think it might make a new branch or two? Just whack off the trunk?
Angle it? What time of year? Hormone?
Any advice appreciated.
