A tale of two trees, just two of many that were brought to this Maples class.

Seeing the trees now in full growth is really useful at this time of year. Now we can make adjustments and get maximum benefit from the remainder of the growing season. Left to their own devices producing lots of unwanted growth can then result in a year being completely wasted. Rather than making progress it can result in the tree going backwards!
At my time of life we can’t afford to be wasting years!!!
