I have 10 b118 rootstock growing that I planted this spring. They are approximately 18" tall. I want to Tbud to them. I would like to do it this year ( in the next week or two). Below are 3 pictures of what I have to work with. First picture is with screen on .. second with screen off, third with most growth pruned off.
How would you T bud these? Like in the 3rd picture with most pruned off and leaving one branch of growth...Tbud to the original rootstock or new growth (which might be too small of diameter) and cut off above T Bud during pruning season in the spring?
Or would you leave all or most growth on, like pic 2, and Tbud and prune off in spring?
Any help would be appreciated.
