The Cornus mas, my little sprig of a tree, was decapitated from all the snow this winter. The tiny twig of a leader was snapped, but not all the way. It was hanging, with a thin strip of bark still holding on. So yesterday I got some velcro tape, wound it around the thin twig to hold it upright, then clipped it with a plastic clip.
Like the repairs to the trunk of the Japanese maple, I hope by keeping the twig's halves pressed together, it will graft back together. It is certainly full of fat buds.
