Last fall I bought a nectarine tree with a nice but very high branching, so I cut it down to knee high and it became a whip.
It has pushed growth for a while already. The problem is that the stubborn want to push growth on the lower buds, no matter how many times I stop it.
It has only pushed growth in one of the high buds, which is already a branch pushing more branches.
How could I encourage the other buds to start growing? Should I prune back this new branch that it's already pushing too far?
