DonnaCosta bonsaiTALK Craftsman Join Date: Jul-2004 Location: Sewell Country: USA USDA Zone: 7 AHS Heat Zone: ? Posts: 91	Leaf Size?? I have a couple trident maples and a japanese maple. The trident maples have been root pruned this spring and the japanese maple has been trunk chopped earlier this year. I have been wondering when the leaves of these trees would reduce. How do the leaves become small? My leaves all seem to be normal size or maybe a slight bit smaller than normal. Can someone explain?? Thanks again. Donna

This pinching should be started in early spring when the tree first leafs out, and continue throughout the growing season. This will increase ramification reduce internode length, and the resultant leaves will also be smaller. Your local club should have members who are experienced with this method as well, and can share their experience. __________________ Emerging from winter slumber Bonsai trees burst buds anew Spring is upon us! -Paul S.
