Any of you guys and gals gardening experts?
I need some advice on pruning a well established Acer Palmatum tree.
Is this an appropriate time to prune it, or is it too late?
Thank you in advance

They are very prone to die-back, so should be pruned I think back for the advice Charles .
They are very prone palmatum sparingly if at all.
I would only prune an acer palmatum sparingly if at all.

My purple ghost for example is a blend of new purple leaves and some odd green leaves .

If you do get plenty to grow, I would advise grafting them onto green acer rootstock, when done... .
Sinking seeds are more likely to be viable so no alarm! However red maples are not great or vigorous on their own roots so will always be an uphill struggle .

In the last snow and wind event here in the PDX area, my little maple tree took a tremendous beating. I went out yesterday to do some pruning and found that a big branch about 5 feet up the trunk broke off and is lying there, connected by just a small...

The tree company didn't have much hope for it, but they just left it, and in time it filled back in .
My DD had a beautiful tree in her back yard, and something happened to one side of it .
I would just leave it and see what happens.

In the autumn the colour of leaves is very dissappointing, they just seem to drop,possibly because it is in a very shaded area.Hover over pics to see date .
It is at its best in spring.

Issai Nishiki is known for its bark, not for its leaves (even though they are lovely). The bark is prominent and very rough, getting better each year. It's especially noteworthy in winter. I've had this plant for 3 years, and this photo was taken April...
