Hi,
I was wondering how you get the tree to this shape? Every image I’ve seen of this Butterfly maple has them growing out looking more like a tree instead of a shrub on top.
Simply by pruning the tips a couple times a year. In this location it would have been crazy to allow these tree to grow tall. In this form, you can enjoy the beauty of the foliage.
