I have a largish (4 ft?) acer palmatum in a container. It seems very
happy
and is growing well. However, one branch is growing in the wrong
direction
and makes the plant look a very odd shape. I'd like to remove this branch
to improve the shape - can I do it at this time of year or would that be a
bad idea?

I would prune autumn after leaf fall,acer a prone to bleeding if pruned in
spring.
Thanks Keith
