Here is a variety of prunus of which family im not so sure about as this tree was here when we come. but since 2 years ago only the stock branch remains. It dose produce some fruit. The layering was taken in October and choped of the tree 3 weeks ago and has already started to shoot.I would like to know where i should chop the thickest branch or just trim and anything else that might need doing please. i look forward to your comments.

I wouldn't be too impatiant. If it were mine I would leave any chopping till winter/early spring. Then you will have heaps of time to decide on where you want to make your cuts, you might change your mind. Let it get a bit stronger for now.

Hey Petra,

Rowan is spot on, for now your layer needs to grow & get some strength & roots down, if you chop it back you reduce the amount of food it can make. Late winter before it starts to move I would then cut back as hard as you like repot & start sorting out those roots.
