Is it ok to trim my Japanese maple right now?
I just pruned mine this past weekend. I think I cut it back too much.
How should one trim a Jap Maple? Mine struggled last year, and it may have been because I didnt trim it at all in the Spring.

I watched several you tube videos on this, and I'm still not sure of the proper way to prune a JM. The consensus seems to be to cut all dead wood, to not cut more than a fourth or fifth off the top, and then cut the limbs that are crossing over each other.
I had to cut mine back so much because it was too close to my house and couldn't really follow the above rules.
