Hey All,
I need some advice. My local nursery has a good deal right now on Japanese maples in my opinion. They have just the standard, Acer palmatum. The trees seem like they have been sitting there awhile. In height they range from 3-6 feet tall and the trunks are all about 1.25-1.75 thick. They all look healthy but most of them are overgrown due to sitting. My question is, if i pick one up, how tolerant are these to being cut back? I'm currently at work and going there after and was just seeing if anyone had any input as far as features to look for or if a bushier tree is better than not, anything really would be appreciated. Whatever one i end up getting, i'll be definitely be putting up here for input or guidance. I appreciate it everyone.
