Hi all,
I've got two acers that have decided they don't want to grow branches and leaves in the 'fancy' form that I originally got them, but rather in a more basic maple style.
I thought that this be due to grafting the pretty version onto a rootstock, but this years new growth has been from the top of the tree rather than the bottom where I thought the join might be. So that may be my theory out the window.
Has anyone else had this happen to their acers? Apart from pruning the unwanted new branches I guess there's nothing I can do?
Cheerio.
Jon
