    I've cut the top off a mountain ash/rowan and it has bushed out.

    ............and I've moved this to the Fruit thread where you should get more advice than in DIY!!

      Generally once you've taken off the leader lateral buds near the top will then start to grow next season. You might want to to take out more than just the tip so that the buds further down burst. The top few buds will try to grow straight and you can then use one as the new leader to bring the height up next season.

      I read the title and thought "Frys Turkish Delight" - although I'm humming to myself the theme for the flake advert as it's catchier
