I have a J maple whose branches are pretty much new this year (about 12-
18" long). Do I let them grow unpruned all year to gain thickness, or
shoudl I prune to limit new buds for later closer to the trunk, instead of
using energy for new buds developing away from the trunk that will
eventually go?
