Threadleaf Japanese Maple Pruning, 2 Parts

Pruning a Threadleaf Japanese Maple is all about precision and enhancing its beauty. I start by removing dead or damaged branches to improve airflow and prevent pests. Thinning the interior allows sunlight to reach deeper into the canopy, helping the delicate leaves thrive. I carefully shape the branches to maintain the tree’s graceful, cascading form, ensuring no branches cross or rub. With each cut, I’m not just restoring health, but highlighting the tree’s elegant structure—creating a stunning centerpiece that’s both healthy and beautiful.
