Autumn Blaze Shaping

5 years ago
last modified: 5 years ago



Hello all! First time poster, you guys are awesome to watch in action!

I am very curious if anyone has advice on how to trim/stimulate more natural shaped growth on this autumn blaze maple?

Should I very lightly trim in the bare area just above the nodes to stimulate growth there or just wait?

Sorry for the tough picture, this is from last year when I planted the tree and the lumpiness issue has only gotten worse. I can take a better picture when im back on site in a few days.

I greatly appreciate any help you can offer!




EDIT: adding a new picture from this year. the tree is now 18 months post planting.
