Hi MetroDave!

I have over 50 champaca trees ( White Mechelia) surrounding my property, which I love for their fragrant flowers. Perhaps because of el nino or the strong winds coming from the nearby lake, many have lost their leaves, as you can see in the picture. Would cutting about a foot-long from the top (crown) help in inducing more leaves?
