My maples have lengthened and lignified, so I took the day to defoliate three. I’ve not done it for years, but the growth was so vigorous in their new home, decided this was the year. 



FIVE GALLONS OF LEAVES! Considering it was only 3 trees, sure seemed like a heck of a lot of leaves.

I did just a little wiring and trimming. I’m interested in seeing if there is significant reduction in leaf size on the trident and larger JM.
I forgot to snap a pic of this tree before I started.

The last pic is the size of the leaves on the smaller JM, so I think they are about as small as they can go. Don’t you wish they all were that small?
