again my thanks for your detailed reply and it is wonderful to see this technique being used and your considerable success (talent) with its use.. your trees express themselves very well..

Edzard, I am very sorry to have missed your post. So the answer to your question is, yes, I do leaf tearing preferably on Elm ( American, Cedar), Buttonwood and Bougainvillea.

Best,
Dorothy

This is a very old thread but I am looking for some help on f. salicaria defoliation so I thought I'd try and ask here....
I have torn by hand the leaves of my f. salicaria in half for reason of back budding.
It is about three weeks now and no sign of back budding yet.
I might have done something wrong?
Any reasoning/suggestions, please?
Thank you!

Nellie, see my reply in your other thread. With Salicaria it is a timing issue.

Best,
Dorothy
