The attached Japanese maple has a bit of reverse taper as can be seen in the first image. Is solving this as simple as cutting it off? I've never made a major cut like this before so was hoping to get a few tips. Plan is:
1) Timing: it's spring where I am and the buds on some maples have just started to swell
2) Use a set of concave cutters
3) Cover with cut paste
Anything else I need to think about? I am assuming/hoping that if I chop where I have indicated there is a relatively low risk of die back all the way to the branches on the left (where the new leader is being grown)?
