The best time to prune Acer is before the end of January. It should not be too late. When pruning, the diseased leaves and branches should be cut off, and some extra long branches should also be pruned in time. After pruning, the incision should be properly applied with some wound protectants to help the incision heal faster.

At this time, you should use tools to smooth its branches, apply some wound protection agents properly, or wrap plastic cloth around the incision, so as to avoid the damage of diseases and insect pests, reduce water loss, and help the incision heal more quickly.
