My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Trunk Chop SOS

17 years ago

Hi,

I live in the Pacific Northwest.

I did a trunk chop of a Japanese Maple in late winter (march). So far no new buds have sprouted out of the chopped trunk. Trunk still seems green when scratched.

Am I out of luck, or can I still expect new growth to emerge on the trunk later this spring / summer?

Thanks.
