| Hi,
I live in the Pacific Northwest. I did a trunk chop of a Japanese Maple in late winter (march). So far no new buds have sprouted out of the chopped trunk. Trunk still seems green when scratched. Am I out of luck, or can I still expect new growth to emerge on the trunk later this spring / summer? Thanks. |

| If it is an older tree it may take a few more weeks. It is still rather cool in your part of the world, give it time. |

| I'm in the south and a Jap. Maple that is in a pot has just started to bud out. The other one sprouted and is in full foliage. They will eventually get chopped for bonsai. I would plant them in the yard but I live with a bonsai guy. It's a battle, will I get it in the yard before he gets it in a bonsai container? Tally HO! |
