In Summer of 2020 I successfully grafted onto a half inch wide avocado rootstock. The problem is that I grafted about two feet off the ground and stripped all the lower leaves.
Fast forward to now and the scion is putting on a lot of new growth and there are no branches below the graft union, so its tall and about 3/4" wide all the way up, about 2.5 feet high.
I'm wondering if I should top the new growth to stimulate lower buds to prevent snapping. It's not in a windy area but it just looks wrong. Should I just wait it out?
Sincerely,
Too tall
