I have a thick 14" Japanese maple, with a 6 foot leader. The taper is decent. wondering if i should cut the leader back so energy goes to thread grafts and needed low branch development, or do i let it be to help several large scars? Thanks.

Thanks. Mine is still dormant.

I'm in the north-east. Is it safe to ship a Siberian Elm with temperatures dipping below freezing? Thanks

After working this elm for a some years, I'm wondering what else can I do with it? Try for even more ramification? Note the 1 long shoot is for a thread graft which will take in late spring. Not sure if this is ok to ask, but does anyone have a sense what it may be worth? Thanks.

If in the ground, how cold can tridents take?

What goes in he hole itself that the paste grabs on to? toothpicks?

I have a light gray trident. I want to plug the hole from a failed thread graft. I will no longer need the hole. . What is the best way to do that? Matched cut paste? Nothing? Thanks.

Looking into it. Haven't bought it yet.

For hard plastic pots, what is the recommended thickness? Thanks.

I bought it last year. It was much taller and had minimal taper, so I chopped it down.

I have this fat trident maple. Could this be sumo style? Broom? Informal? Any sense of value? Thanks

So leaves cannot be reduced any further to be in proportion to my small tree?

What do you mean regarding i"s that everything bar the leaves are dwarf"? Thanks

I have a Japanese Maple. About 10" tall from soil line. I don't know the variety. It has nice nebari and trunk line and taper. Only issue is leaf size. These leaves are after defoliating. Can I expect more leaf reduction next season? Also, does anyone know what this is worth? may sell it but...
