How to Properly Prune Your Sango Kaku?
Pruning Sango Kaku Japanese Maple trees is best done during autumn when the tree is dormant. Pruning should start when the tree is young and continue throughout its life to keep it healthy and maintain its shape. The best tool to use while pruning is a pair of good-quality anvil loppers that will be able to make precise cuts with minimal effort. If pruning at a young age, remember never to cut more than one-third of the branch's length or remove more than four branches in one session. Doing so can cause serious damage and reduce foliage growth. The key to effective pruning of Sango Kaku Japanese Maple lies in taking a conservative approach, making sure that balanced and symmetrical cuts are created for desired results.
