Seedling
Yeah, that’s kind of why I was nervous about it. As a single-flush species, if it already chose its buds for the year and I chopped them all off, would it sprout new ones this year, and if not would it live until the next year to do so then? It was a small enough concern after you all reassured me that it would be ok though.You should generally see growth in the spring on any tree you chop back hard in the spring. Although some people have seen collected trees wait till fall or the next spring from what I've read. Everything I've had that didn't push in the spring ended up dead sadly.
