How to Prune A Japanese Maple - JAPANESE MAPLES!

Pruning Japanese Maples primarily aims to enhance vigor, remove unwanted or dead branches, and shape the tree. The best time to prune is early spring, around mid-March, as this period supports quicker healing and encourages vigorous growth. Pruning in late fall is generally avoided to prevent promoting new growth that may not survive winter. The process involves removing dead, twiggy, or conflicting branches to improve the tree's health and aesthetic. Tools such as concave bonsai pruners and saws are used, with a focus on cleanliness to prevent spreading disease. Overall, pruning should be done with an understanding of the tree’s cultivar and its natural growth patterns, and it should be performed carefully to avoid excessive removal and ensure optimal results.
