    @nathanaelsmith3553 11 месяцев назад

    Interesting. Great advice - videos like this give me confidence. I have an air-layered maple outdoors that I have allowed to go bonkers. It is a total mess and I need to structure and prune it. I might wait untill spring because I think that will reduce the chance of die back as the tree will be pushing out growth. With the leaves dropping its easier for me to see the structure better now. I did a radical prune once and got some bits if significant die back that scared me. The next time I pruned I used that gooey green sealent to prevent die back which seemed to work. I think I will wait until early spring after the tree has woken up when I can still see the structure and it is starting to push out growth. I hope that the maintenance will be easier once I establish a direction. Thanks again for posting this video, I will watch your others. Kind regards.

    • @nathanaelsmith3553
      @nathanaelsmith3553 11 месяцев назад

      @@judlpd maybe? I think that might be a good thing though as it prevents die back? I watched another video that recommended pruning in the growth season to avoid this? Other videos I have watched say it doesn't really matter and that any time is a good time? Descriptions of experience appreciated.

    What’s the paste called that you put on the tree wound after you clip a branch off?

  • @Cbridge9907
    @Cbridge9907 21 день назад

    Isn't it too early to prune? I understand that the process that takes place in autumn involves the reabsorption of valuable nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus from the leaves into the tree’s branches and trunk. These nutrients are then stored and used for growth in the following spring. Why don't you wait until the leaves all drop off naturally so this process is fully completed. Could this have been a contributing factor for those branches that died?. Just wondering. Thank you.

  • @Benw3790
    @Benw3790 11 месяцев назад

    I always wire abs prune my deciduous at this time of year (November mostly) but still been trying to get my maples down pat. So there will be no bleeding or severe die back, pruning at this time of year? We’ve had 2 or 3 light frosts but aren’t consistent with temperatures like that yet.

    • @grahamharlow7471
      @grahamharlow7471 22 дня назад +1

      I have read after defoliation of maples mid summer early July is a good time to wire ,the tree will be obviously bare of leaves and you will be able to clearly see the branch structure, in very early spring again when the buds are just sprouting, be careful not to damage any and if done in spring keep a close eye on it because wire can soon bite in..

    • @nickferretti1538
      @nickferretti1538 2 месяца назад

      we tend to avoid any significant pruning of maples in spring because they are a high water mobility species and they'll bleed out a lot of their resources if cut in spring.
