So first the pit splits and you can start to see the shoot.
Then it comes up as this sad little oddly colored shoot that's just totally straight.
After it's grown a few inches (about 9" or so) and has some leaves you have to do the hardest thing to it. You have to chop it off!!! I couldn't bring myself to do it, so I made the heartless J cut it.
The pruning will help it branch off and be healthier, I realiz
I'll feel better when it starts growing back.
