[IBC] Ok To Chop?
I just acquired a Japanese maple (green-leafed). It is about 7' tall, with
300-400 leaves. Is it ok to chop it down to 2' now, leaving only about 15 leaves? It was in a pot in the ground, and so a fair number of roots had to be severed. Thanks, Jim ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Mike Page ++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?

[IBC] Ok To Chop?
Kevin,
Do you think the leaf/root balance won't be too out of balance? Also, I fear I won't get a bud anywhere near where I chop. Should I leave some inches of safety by chopping well above where the new leader should be, or should I chop exactly where I want it?
