I got this Japanese Maple Kiyohime last summer and trunk chopped it this spring before the buds leafed out. I was worried initially in the early and late spring, because it only pushed out a few leaves but now its growing like a weed.
The chopped I made for the branch that would be the new leader snapped as I accidently dropped the tree! So the current leader was supposed to be a secondary branch and subsequenlty turned into a cascading style as I am letting the tree grow freely.
Next spring, I plan on ground layering the trunk because the graft is very apparent.
Let me know if you have any comments/thoughts!
