Due to its rapid growth and shallow roots, the Leyland Cypress is more prone to storms than slower-growing native trees which can result in increased damage from winds and heavy rains. Additionally, because this tree does not drop much of its leaves, it can create too much shade for ground-level plants. Ultimately, the unchecked proliferation of this species could further strain an already fragile balance between certain types of trees present in a particular environment. This is how the growth rate of Leyland Cypress can affect other plants surrounding it.  

  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.

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.
