Sword sucker damaged. Do I cut it?
My Cuban Red sucker was bent a third of the way down from the top by the gardeners. It still has about 12-15 inches of undamaged stem above ground. One side of the stem is scarred and soft where it bent but the other side of the stem seems okay. Should I leave it to grow or cut off the top just below the bend? It was removed from the mother plant two weeks ago and has not grown any new leaves yet, so I am not sure how strong it is. Any help appreciated.
