two maples in the making
The first one is a French maple (Acer monspessulanum).
The second is a field maple (Acer campestre) which I got from Brent Walsotn four years ago. The stump images are two yeras old.
One can prune maples from Feberuary to November and also in beween. The worst time is from beginning of August to beginningn of September. All other times are OK. Don't trust your books. Trust those who actually do it wih hundreds of trees.
