So thats how your supposed to top burly. Cool video Larry. I have been using those upper most small leaves for some great cigar filler though from the plants you sent last year.

I should have done a follow up on that same field when it was harvest time . The leaves grew like crazy and spread long and wide .
If I was to guess I would say the leaves trippled in size or more .

. Remember , after topping is when the suckers start .
My commercial get sucker control the other ( Customer Sales, no sucker control ) gets hand suckered or when I strip it there is suckers . Unless you let the suckers grow too long they get to be a major problem .

stupid question, but do the buds try to come back
bw

NO the bud will not come back ,but the suckers will come out at each leaf starting at the top and going down . Left alone they will look like tree limbs with the bud on each limb.
