Q.My Japanese Red Maples Has A Few New Shoots Coming Out From The Bottom. Do I Cut Them Off? You
The tree is in a large pot and has been planted about two months. Lately a few new shoots sprouted near the bottom of the trunk. Should I prune them off now?

Yes. Japanese maples are grafted so anything below the graft should be removed.
