Thanks for the Info - yes it must be a Silver Maple. They do grow very quick and It's getting to the stage I need to prune it!

So can anyone suggest when the best time of year is to prune such a tree. In the winter time it looses it's leafs, so would that have any bearing on when I should prune it ?

Also whilst talking of pruning does anyone have a link to a website that explains the best practices of pruning a tree ?

Thanks for your help,

Cheers


Greg
