It is that time of the year. These are still minor but hopefully they will give me joy over the next few years.

I note that you have quite a few junctions there with 3 shoots
when you get an acer shooting out, take out the middle branch and leave just 2 side branches.
it will generate taber and ramification , but more importanatly, will prevent bulges at that point.

Thanks Ken

Some of these acers are grafted. I bought these about 2 years ago really cheap ;)
