Hi everyone! I have an Acer, "sango kaku", that is breaking dormancy as we speak. I got the tree from a nursery this past June and gave it a light prune and put it in a training pot. I brought it inside in mid-November when it threatened to get too cold. I live in an apartment and have no place to keep it protected outside. I keep it in a spare bedroom that stays about 10 degrees cooler than the rest of the apt.
Anyway, I brought it out 2 weeks ago to check its shape and get some wire on it. I left it on the dining room table for a week and noticed buds breaking open. Now one of the buds has about 2 inches of new growth and the rest are trying to catch up. What should I do? Should I treat it like it's spring and prune new shoots? Should I feed it? Any tips?
Thanks in advance!
