    Interesting. Great advice - videos like this give me confidence. I have an air-layered maple outdoors that I have allowed to go bonkers. It is a total mess and I need to structure and prune it. I might wait untill spring because I think that will reduce the chance of die back as the tree will be pushing out growth. With the leaves dropping its easier for me to see the structure better now. I did a radical prune once and got some bits if significant die back that scared me. The next time I pruned I used that gooey green sealent to prevent die back which seemed to work. I think I will wait until early spring after the tree has woken up when I can still see the structure and it is starting to push out growth. I hope that the maintenance will be easier once I establish a direction. Thanks again for posting this video, I will watch your others. Kind regards.

      @nathanaelsmith3553 9 місяців тому

      @@judlpd maybe? I think that might be a good thing though as it prevents die back? I watched another video that recommended pruning in the growth season to avoid this? Other videos I have watched say it doesn't really matter and that any time is a good time? Descriptions of experience appreciated.

  • @Benw3790
    @Benw3790 9 місяців тому

    I always wire abs prune my deciduous at this time of year (November mostly) but still been trying to get my maples down pat. So there will be no bleeding or severe die back, pruning at this time of year? We’ve had 2 or 3 light frosts but aren’t consistent with temperatures like that yet.

  • @paolomh113

  • @mikeswain9085
    @mikeswain9085 9 місяців тому

    I've now watched this video in its entirety three times and I'm worried there's something sadly wrong with me. Although the leaves add lots of colour and give the tree shape, I can't help thinking how beautiful the tree looks at the very end of the video. Quite stunning.

    • @nickferretti1538
      @nickferretti1538 12 днів тому

      we tend to avoid any significant pruning of maples in spring because they are a high water mobility species and they'll bleed out a lot of their resources if cut in spring.
