[IBC] trident maple leaf clipping
You take all the leaves off of a healthy tree ONCE a
year in about June. What you do otherwise is called pinching, because it should be done when you can pinch tips with your fingers, but you can use shears. Please see ah er...illustration? below: *=Leaves - = branches * * * A -----/---/---/---* \ \ \ * * * ^ here now * * / / B ---------------------------* \ \ * * What you want to do is pinch when the branch looks like"A". You want to leave the two leaves closest to the branch. If you wait until "B" you can see the internodes get longer. You will get new branches from the base of the leaves remaining. Repeat until all the leaves fall of in fall.
