Looking at one limb on my pink frosty that got 36" tall before it Y'd. Then it will continue to Y (without having to grow another 36").

When frost approaches and I cut this stalk down and cut it into pieces. Does that mean that:

1) the piece at the bottom of the stalk would grow the tallest before y'ing !
2) each piece closer to the Y would be shorter when it Y'd.
3) the piece after the first Y would be short- but Y sooner !
so which cuttings are the best to keep.

Y or Y cant I get this straight ! :)
