Hey, just saw this thread, nice work and vision. Wanted to ask your opinion. I have this procumbens I sort of got frustrated with and ended up cutting at of the lower branches unde the main canopy back as I was just going to jin them as a science project. Those branches, I have not jinned yet, but had been cut back to be pads. In a noun of fear before removing all the foliage completely, I did keep some buds at the ends, as well as some small small backbuds throughout the branches. Will even small remaining growth be adequate to grow back and continue to thicken the trunk you think?
