Default Re: Why Topping? + Dead Wooding| Dead Wood

YOu are right; steep decline all right. That tree's roots seem to have been trashed, so pruning alone could not stimulate regrowth. It looks like it was a candidate for paclobutrazol and root invigoration. Now? That or replacement.

Apples and kumquats, Eric--different scenarios entirely.
