Updates...the water fountain from the apical bud seems to have slowed. I did notice a huge sagging large loop of stem that at its widest measures 3/8 inch (1 cm) this section is higher than the apical bud. I wonder if some sort of siphon has been set up.
The apical bud had rocketed up in position something like 10 inches (25cm) so maybe this water powered ratcheting allows for bridging sections of tree limbs for upward progression.
Any thoughts on my weirdo theory?
