How to Prune a Japanese Dissectum Maple | Our Japanese Garden Escape

This video covers the tricky task of pruning a Japanese Dissectum maple. Dissectum maples are typically dome shaped, dense and droop towards the ground. We look at one way of pruning to avoid creating a typical mushroom shape as well as how to lift the canopy off the ground and reduce dominant growth.

Plants mentioned in this video:
Dissected Japanese maple - Acer palmatum var. dissectum

We are in a climate/hardiness zone 6 and all plants above are growing well in our garden.
