    That new growth keeps on coming! I'm starting to think I want to take the bottom branch off and keep that trunk open, though that's a lot of tree to prue away. May take it in slow steps...

    I had a go at wiring my Crimson Queen last year before winter and decided to have some fun with it. Happily it doesn't seem to have minded being the subject of my weird shaping experiments:

    23rd June 2022 and my Crimson Queen is showing off a lot of branches this year. But I don't mind seeing the structure of a maple. Makes that bit more interesting IMO.
