heya
what sort of maple is this? Deshojo? i love the colour of these things.. yeah id cut it by half.........since you are in growing season now... hopefully it will develop more shoots a little bit lower... good potential this tree,... but Deshojos and shindeshojos are very slow growing......so you need alot of time and patience... |

Since yours is grafted, I would air layer just above the graft to give a better trunk. Then let it grow for a couple of years in the ground or grow box to thicken up before doing a trunk chop.
