Should I let it grow wild to develop roots, or cut back hard to develop ramification. Remember, I'm NOT in Florida! Thanks.

If we are planning on styling it, we would start at this time. Sorry, I couldn't tell you if you can do this up North or not. Just to be on the safe side you should wait until spring to start. Do you have a photo of the cutting? Thick is a relative term. __________________ "Success demands understanding"-Andy Rutledge Charles Bevan Vero Beach, Fl

You're right! It's skinny when compared to your stump!

Not really worth a photo yet. Stump is about 2 1/2" "branches" (shoots) are about 12"

I do not know if this makes a difference, but it seems like a larger trunk needs more roots to support it. Your cutting is an average size trunk, so it should be fine to start working on it now if your climate permits it. __________________ "Success demands understanding"-Andy Rutledge Charles Bevan Vero Beach, Fl
