Split Leaf Japanese Maple - Promoting Growth

May 13, 2004 1 Replies

We have a lovely small split leaf Japanese Maple, which is fully leafed out at about 3/4 of it's circumference. The last 1/4 of the circumference is fairly bare. What we would like to do is to force the tree to fill out completely. Is there a way to force the tree to start filling in this bare spot: for instance, can we attempt a graft from another part of the tree in the bare area? Thanks in advance

on some plants, you can motivate certain leaf buds by slightly restricting circulation immediately above the bud.
