Hi there from Italy!
This spring I planted and grafted different cultivars of Asian pear.
All my plants and grafts are growing well except a shinseiki.
This one grew up for a month and stopped.
Other Asian pear did the same but started to grow again 2 weeks ago.
This one has a sort of sack under the apical bud.
I read it is an atomical structure typical of pomacee.
The trunk seems to be covered by a white dust.
According to you is this normal?
What can I do?
I would check the state of the other shoots on the tree.
Do you think they have shut down too, or are they still growing?
If they are still growing then I would cut straight away as this would suggest that the bud you cut to would break and start to grow.
If you think they have shut down however, it will not matter if you leave it until the winter months as growth will not take place until next year.
