This is one of my maples, the one pictured in my recent thread about cut paste. I have worked on this tree for two years. I have basically just done root work and cutting the ugly knobs off the lower trunk. The biggest cut has almost healed. The two knobs next to each other were a problem. I didn't dare make a giant cut across half the tree so I cut them separate and when they are healed over I will carve out the middle to smooth it out.
If you think the tree is under potted, when I bought it it was in a much smaller pot ! The current pot is an excellent Sara Rayner. I probably will up pot this spring into a training pot of some kind to speed things up.
I have selected most of the branches, but for now most of them are just growing. This coming year will be all about growth, that's why the apex hasn't been started. How low would you cut this tree back ? Thanks for your comments.
