Pruning a new Maple
In October I planted a Norway Maple (Acer Platinoides). The central shoot of the tree had already been pruned by the nursery (a reputable online company). There are now about 5 shoots growing from the top (see he http://bit.ly/4C28vF). It shows the 5 shoots and the remnants of the central shoot. The part of the tree in the photo is probably a bit over 4 feet high. 2 questions: 1. Do I need to do anything to treat the remnants of the central brunch, to stop it rotting / deteriorating? 2. There are 5 shoots coming out at the top. Should I prune a couple of them out to allow the others room to grow into main branches? Michael |
