How do I care for my Japanese Maple since the hard freeze this March?
My Japanese Maple is about six feet tall and suffered from the March freeze. It has many small, twiggy, tips of branches that appear dead. I have snapped a few to see if they have any green in them and they appear twig-like and snap. Can I prune these off now, or do I wait to see if the tree improves? The lower part of the tree is showing new life, but the upper branches just have dead leaves. Any suggestions on how to best care for my tree? P.S. I have been feeding it Miracle Grow once a week.
