So Squam says to wait till March to remove these mixed blooms. My question is should I cut/snap these bloom spikes at their bases or should I make the cut below the bases?
These spikes occurred where I tipped at a growth ring site and I was hoping that these would turn into new branches, but this occurred instead.
Its tough to figure out how to remove these the right way (without removing too much of the already small main branches) and encourage new vegetative branch growth to bulk up the tree as a whole. Suggestions?
Thanks guys!
