I want to thank you both, treebay & carl, for your advice reguarding my red maple, yes acer palmatum. I would most likely say it's a cutting there is no branching to it at all, however the open buds are growing like crazy. I know maples are outdoor trees but i live in maine and the weather here has been sunny, but very windy and cold( below 10 degrees) and that's inside my garage. I'm worried that keeping it out there will do more harm than good. I have it indoors now by a sunny east facing window and feed it miracid 30-10-10. like i say it's growing like a weed but should i be doing this? I do plan on putting it out on my deck when frost is no longer a threat. Advice/critics welcome!
