Question From: Charter Township of Clinton, Michigan, United States
Q: When is the best time of the year to trim back flaming ember tree's about 20 years old ...... about 8 or 10 feet tall live in north east part of michigan..........thanks
A: Sam, Your flaming ember tree is an Amur Maple. Best to refer to it by its common name rather than variety name of Flaming Ember. I had no idea what kind of a tree you were talking about as trees are not listed in reference books by variety. The best time to prune it is in late winter. Spring growth will quickly cover most cuts. Best Nancy and Happy Yardening
