Cherry: What to do with these buds?
fruitnewbienyc
9 years ago
This is a craig's crimson cherry on zaiger newroot-1 rootsock. It's a bare root and just planted last week. The buds are breaking, in the picture the buds at the base are breaking.
Questions:
1. Are these buds (suckers) coming from rootstock?
2. Should I remove these buds, since it is so close to graft union?
3. If I do need to remove it, should I seal them with tree sealer to prevent canker? (close to averge 4 inch rain per month weather)
Sorry for the stupid questions. Just want to make sure I do it right.
Thank you
Alex
