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.

Growth from rootstock?

12 years ago

On my Abies concolor 'Blue Cloak' there is some very vigorous growth coming from below the graft point on the tree. (The darker green growth, right next to the stake). If you trace the branch, you can see its coming from way down, below the graft callus). know I have seen that sometimes this is allowed to help the overall tree develop.

Can someone confirm that is what this growth is, which is probably 4x as long as the growth above the graft? Also, at what point do I remove it?
