Sapling
We're heading into months now where the trees begin to put themselves to sleep, and I've heard things all over the place as to when to shape up a maple, so some advice would be welcome. Is this the best time to pare down a maple? The one I have has got new growth from this year that has about 2 inch internodes, heheh. The only thing I've done to it as the owner has been defoliation which worked marvelously at restoring it's health and beauty. It's responded wonderfully and is a gorgeous, overgrown mess at this point. So, cut it back soon once it drops leaves, or wait until pre-bud next year?
