Sprouting from over-pruning
Too many branches were removed from this tree two years ago, and they were removed from the wrong position. Instead of removing only low branches, one trunk should have been selected as the main leader and the others should have been subordinated using reduction cuts. Some low branches could have been removed. Click to the next photo for a close-up.
