It’ll be chopped to a 34 cm tall stump. To start fresh & clean this strange, straight branch also need to go completely. I throw a layer just above the planned cutting site to encourage some budding on the trunk below.

Feels all right... ^^

Well... I’m back with my favorite material.
I’ve got my so wanted buds on the trunk, but I see roots just on the sunny side of the airlayer.. That’s due to my laziness, cause I didn’t eager to turning that basket as I should...

I’ll let in a month or so before separation, like this maybe I can do something with that upper stick too.

I try to manage the coarse growth, but I already see it’ll be a funky ride. I need to stock on or make some low nitrogen fertilizer...

Nice, nice...
Known myself it’ll be more like:

I think that with well times defoliation and trimming you can get very far on your internodes. I find that the first and ometimes second inernod of the year are short, as well as the internodes on branches on the inside / those that form in the secand half of the year.

Thanks, LB! I’ll pay attention for this. : )

I gave it a higher elevation yesterday, so the sun can grill some buds lower on the trunk. I let it grow for now, but from the next year I have a plan. Well.. kind of..
From spring, I’d like to use half dose Nitrogen and pinching out the first buds. (Except if I graft some branches on...)
/Trimming as necessary between... /
Midsummer defoliation, and going with a balanced fert until September.
From the end of August, beginning of September a low N fertilizer until fall.
Pruning after leaf fall. Deciding if refining that hole on the base, or wait for it...
