Agreed, the tree will be generating loads of energy to get into leaf so best wait till its done.

 

it wont be generating energy, not till its leafed up, it is USING reserves stored over winter and in the roots and zylem.

 

best to leave it a while but if the client wont wait a light thin should be o.k reduction definitely not.

nearly right - the energy reserves of the tree - any tree, will drop significantly JUST AS THE LEAVES ARE OPENING the trees energy reserves will recover quite quickly when the leaves are open

correct me if I'm wrong but...the tree will be producing energy. It will have been respiring away like mad using the stored carbohydrate in the xylem and roots to produce the energy it needs for growth. It will start producing more carbohydrate when its leafed up!:001_smile:
