Wow! I just got my first Acer the other day. It's still a
baby. But I
never read anything about clipping leaves. Where did you find
that
instruction?

Since it is "still a baby" I suggest you forget you ever heard of
leaf stripping at least until it reaches late adolescence.

Meanwhile, keep on reading; because I can't think of a book on
bonsai that doesn't cover it in some detail.
