Do not cut off the petiole, or stem, of the leaf. This will allow the petiole to continue providing necessary nutrients to the tree as it recovers from being defoliated. A defoliated tree needs adequate lighting but it will not need as much water until it has developed new buds. Once the tree is bare, you can go ahead with any pruning that is necessary to keep it in the proper shape. Within three to six weeks you will begin to see new leaves which will be smaller than the previous ones.

Specific care guidelines for the Trident Maple
- Position
The Acer buergerianum prefers lots of light, although it should be protected from too much direct sunlight in summer afternoons. Protect the tree when it freezes by placing it in a cold room or by protecting the root system when remaining outside. - Watering
Be careful not to over-water, a draining soil mixture is advised. - Feeding
Fertilize the tree once it starts growing in early spring, about once or twice monthly until autumn. - Pruning
Pinch back new growth from about 5 to 6 leaves to the first two leaves. Be careful to prune the top/crown of the tree strongly to make sure growth spreads to the lower parts as well. To reduce the leaf-size remove 30 percent of the tree’s biggest leaves once every two years. - Repotting
Repot the tree every second year just before it starts growing (early spring), a normal (if somewhat well-draining) soil mixture can be used. - Propagation
From seeds, cuttings or by air-layering.
