Budding back...

Do Junipers & Azaleas bud back on old wood when trunk chopped? I know that in pines it is difficult to occur but I'm not yet familiar with these trees.

Thanks

Re: Budding back...

Azaleas bud back everywhere when they are cut back. *They seem to love it.

Many of those huge azaleas you see lining the Georgia golf courses are cut back within a couple feet of the ground every few years, and they grow back with a vengeance.

Junipers are a different story. *They tend to bud right at the base and in the crooks of existing branching. *If you want to trigger budback on a juniper, just thin it to slightly less than half the current foliage and it will bud back as best it can. *Mist the trunk in the morning to help soften the bark and make it easier for the developing buds to penetrate.

Regards,

Matt

I received my first "mallsai" as a gift sometime around 1989
