Ah, they do backbud when chopped, specially if it is warm and in the Spring. @leatherback took one from Brazil to Germany with no leaves at all and it sprouted many new branchlets some weeks after settled in Europe.
May be a matter of patience I guess.

Patience pays off

Nice! Now make the cut flush, removing the stub.
I have 0 die-back on these so far.

I was going to wait until I get a little more growth before I clean up anything. There are a couple buds and I want to see which is best.

My philosophy also.
If there is no need to cut now, wait a little longer. Congrats for the tree!

Speaking of growth, on July 17th you recommended wet feet in organic media in a deeper pot. I did it and here is the kind of growth I got...

Busting buttons and growing like a teenager!

My little one today.
Needs a haircut after three weeks of uninterrupted growing!
Needs a proper pot also, but I guess it's feeling happy this way.
