There is definitely still a danger/certainty of freezing temps and will be for at least another few weeks. I think that I will do some pruning now though so that once the sap does start flowing, its not wasted on parts of the tree that are not wanted. __________________ Here's to a long life and a merry one, a quick death and an easy one, a pretty girl and an honest one, a cold beer and another one!

Treating your maples to a tablespoon of gypsum once a year will improve their growth. Particularly if you are using commercial fertilizer. jg
