I should prob repot and see if that kills it.
This seems to work with my mugos, going to give a scots a go this year and maybe a spruce. I'm pretty far north and don't think g it gets hot enough for a summer dormacy here. Colin Lewis speaks of it and he's about 1.5 hours south of me, and there's even a 10 degree on average difference just between him and I. My maples, elms, and hornbeam grow all summer and don't stopI repot all Spruce during the Summer hot spell when they sleep. Another here recommended it last year and so far all good.

Nice work on the tree. It is coming along very well. Tremendous difference from the starting point of the tree.I look at this now...
And question it...
But then I See how far It has come....
And it's "progressing ".
Last year I cut It a little after now...
The second set of new buds was about a 1/4in.
Here they are this Time...
Just yellow nubs..View attachment 144911
I wonder if HH says, "one to two inches, any longer and backbudding will be Limited...
@0soyoung I wonder if it doesn't have something to do with Aux making it to these buds or not.
Is looking for these side shoots...
More appropriate than looking for Length, which can vary.?
Before....

I finished the job that wire started and bent this trunk over.
What's holding it in the pot to support that bend?
