Hi Gerry. I have a Japanese Maple that I planted out last Oct., it was in a tub. It about 5ft. tall and 4ft. wide.
The leaves are out about three weeks now. The problem is that there is now leaf growth on the tips of of quite a few of the branches, it is not dead wood, should I cut back to where there is leaf growth that would be in most cases about 5-6 inches.
Look forward to your opinion.
