I went ahead and cut off the bottom of the "offset" and used the fungicide and a root stimulant. I have a question about the tree sealer, though: Am I supposed to put this on the bottom of the "offset"? Won't that keep roots from growing?
Also, do I need to do anything special to the bottom part (the part still in the ground), or will it just start growing on its own? Thank you!
