Japanese Maple
I have just uprooted a dissectum Japanese Maple from the garden. Will soon post photos. I did this towards the end of the day to enable it to stand in its new training crate during the cool of the night. Some severe root pruning had to take place and about two thirds of the top was cut. Not really the best time of year to do this, but we are moving soon and I wanted the tree out and replanted before the shift.

Did this survive?
ReplyDeleteYes, it did. Lots of new growth, but I will let it stand for another year before I do anything with it. There is also some new growth from lower down with a completely different type of leaf. Obviously a grafted tree.
