This is a very young forest of Amur maples I started from seed. It was roughly pruned to shape after leaf drop in the fall, and needs a little wire going into this growing season. As you can see, the tree is ready to go, even though winter is still with us here in Virginia.
As I wired a few branches down, I found it didn’t take much to knock off one of those fresh green buds.
It’s not a big change, but wiring out a few branches will set up this planting for the season. I look forward to watching this forest mature.
