Déligaturage (3 mois)
30/05/2026
Wire removal from new shoots. All leaves seemed hardened off. Shoots had very little reversion of shape after removal. Very slight wire bite in places. Can maybe/barely see new buds appearing from cut leaves.
Défoliation / Désaiguillage (4 mois)
03/05/2026
For first growing season after purchase, didn't want to try 'partial outer canape defoliation'. Still trimmed a few leaves on each vigorous new growth branch, to promote side branch budding. Then wired the longest shoots .
