Re: [nafex] no new growth on young apple?

Well,

There was no clear apex, but one spur is a little higher than the others, and it had three leaf clusters emerging from it, and one of those had grown about half an inch. So I plucked off the other two clusters, in the hopes that one decides its the apex and grows a bit more.

I also trimmed off the top of one twig, just above a bud. Maybe it will sprout?

I left the rest of the tree alone. I'll give it a bit more fertilizer and remove some of the weeds at it's base, as well.

Is there anything I can do? Would it help to cut the rosette off? Would it have helped if I did it earlier in the season? Anything else I could do to promote new growth?
