    Trident Maple help

    Not sure what to do with it... It just seemed that the heigth was disproportionate to the width bu such a large margin. It's so tall I didn't want it to break in half. Thanks for the advice. :)

    Trident Maple help

    I just bought a Acer buergeranum: Trident Maple from the Denver Botanical Gardens this last weekend for next to nothing. It is about 3' tall and as big around as a pencil. Can I air layer this to about half the size? Thanks!

    Please post some of your trees... :)

    Thanks for the tip. I am thinking of making my first airlayering attempt with the long branch that comes off to the side. This probably needs to be cut off any way but will give me some practice.

    Oops, looks like fraiser already suggested that. That's what I was thinking. He could just take it with hik when he leaves.
