Anthony,

 

I would suggest that you remove just he terminal from the weakest shoot and leave most of the remaining foliage on the weak shoot so that the other shoot will be the dominant shoot.  You may need to remove additional lateral bud breaking on the shoot before fall.  Remove the weak shoot(s) early next spring.

Subject: [NAFEX] Paw Paw Doubles ( Anthony Curcio )

Two Paw Paws that we thought had died last year came back to be amongst the living this year. Both trees look great but both have double trunks coming up. Should we keep the straightest and prune the other off ? Is it best to wait until they are dormant or prune now and get extra growth?

Thank you, Anthony z4b
