Have a Laverne manila rootstock, with a 3 scions on it. One dominant scion turns out to be an almost 2 years old Mahachanok, the other scion is still young, and the third has not pushed yet. (but still green).
Maybe due to my ignorant, I let this scion's grew to about 45 degree to start with, then branched out horizontally; so, it's really doesn't look good, way out of balance, in my opinion. Can't believe how could this happened right under my nose...
My question is, how should I made the cut, so I can correct it's future growth to look "half way decent", and still preserving the 2 years of scion's growth? By the way, it's hard to see from this photo, but the graft's union is right by the stake's shadow; and this is the first time I see a this tree bloomed...
I am tempted to make the cut a couple of inches above the graft, but would like to hear your opinion; and also, when is a good timing to do the cut?
Thanks a lot, friends; I appreciate your help!
