Pruning
When it comes to pruning an Acer pseudoplatanus 'Nizetii' (Nizetii Sycamore Maple), it is recommended to prune it in late winter or early spring. The recommended amount of pruning is light pruning which would generally involve removal of dead, diseased, or damaged wood. If larger pruning is needed, it should occur over a few years, with no more than 10-20% of the tree removed in any 1 winter or spring. Pruning cuts should be made at a slight angle just above a bud or branch, and should be made at a 45 degree angle to ensure proper healing of the cut site.
