Is there a way to correct a gtaft that allowed root stock to outgrow the grafted limb? I recently discovered that a Japanese Maple (Shirasawarum Autumn Moon) I bought 4 years ago as a young plant in a one gallon container has only one "true" branch near the base. The rest of the plant is a more ordinary Acer palmatum, which is now three feet tall, while the Autumn Moon branch is only about a foot long. Is there a way to salvage this by pruning the root stock back?
