4 months ago

im looking for suggeations on how (if at all) to prune this maple that seems to have 4 leaders. the tree has grown to about 15 ft in a couple id years. its not near my home or anything so im not too worried about future damage.


Thanks!

    i would cut it flush to the ground..and apply a stump killer to the stump..

    and grow any of the million seedlings sprouting around the yard.. if you insist on having this particular type of tree.. fwiw.. you can do a lot better for just a few dollar investment...

    no clue where you are.. but oak is always my preference...
