trying to achieve is to encourage the effective closure of the wound, and limit the production of epicormics..look if the co-dominant is advanced enough with enough live foliage and demanding equal if not greater rights to Auxin and Gibberelin control it you'll get epicormics.

I don't consider the difference between the red line and the blue line in the photo to be that great...red line less wood tissue left agreed, but more wood tissue surface area exposed to dysfunction

My concern with cuttin on the blue line instaed of the red line.would be simply to cut along the red line so the finish is below the lilttle latteral that would be left just below the blue line cut.
If left unnatended would keep the wound open and also fight for dominance.At the same time getting heavy and being on the side of the stem leaving more room for failure due to what i have dubbed the "peel effect".
This IMO could be avoided with the redline cut as long as no sprouts or suckers as we call them are left on the other side above the finish cut....
(Now that would be a cleanup cut (both red and blue) ,obviously its not healing because it was cut wrong to begin with..Easy collar cut could have been made at the initial trim.)
Personally i think that if it grows that good and comes back im questioninq why leave the other side.But i have no clue about gums in Au.
