A crabapple tree that died back but has two new branches growing just above the graft. #282432
Asked October 04, 2015, 11:27 AM EDT
The question is which branch to cut off in Feb.or March and which should I let grow. One is a single branch a little off center above the graft and the other is more centered but has a branch off the side of it maybe 4 to 5 inches from the old tree start point above the graft. So which one should I let continue to grow? I could email a picture of it. I live in Newcastle, WY.

A picture is needed to determine if the new shoot is indeed the scion and not the rootstock.
