A question for the knowledgeable tree folk.
I have a wild sorbus cashmiriana, at least I think it is, that has self seeded in a dark area of the allotment against a leylandii hedge and has grown tall and thin.
I noticed it about 5 years ago and planned to pull it up, however through laziness I left it and noticed that the berries where white, it looks like a sorbus cashmiriana and i quite like the berries.
So, does anyone know if I "trunk chop" it low down, whats the chances of it back budding below the chop and producing a multi-stemmed tree?
Or, is there a better way than chopping?
I know the bonsai people regularly do this to hardwood trees and I know it's easier for some trees to back bud than other, does anyone know if sorbus back bud readily?
It looks exactly like this

I have rooted five different coloured stems of willow. Next year I will 'stocking top' them to achieve multi stemmed plants …...hopefully.
