Hi all just a quick question to the experts...

Was wondering, when branches that have been cut re-shoot (sometimes 3-4 new shoots)
Do you generally just keep 2 and get rid of any others ?

Thanks in advance.

Keep only 2 shoots from the new growth
You will get swelling and reverse taper / bulges if you keep more

Thanks,That's what I thought but better to check to be safe.
Cheers

Sorry,also should you always leave the internodes incase there's dieback when pruning back or just cut back to the base of the pair that you want to keep ?

Thanks again

If you are tip pruning new growth, then take the middlle shoot right back to the junction. if older wood, then leave a little bit longer to allow dieback.

Ken

Thanks for that
