Re: gardening question

It is a tree.  Yeah, was going to give it some time and see what happens.    It just looks so odd!

  Donna,
I have taken my 2 smoke trees completely to the ground before... but I think 
you can cut it off at about 2-3 feet and it will come back. Is it a shrub 
or tree... it may come back more like a shrub but you can always pick a 
leader and train it to be a tree if you want. I am not sure about the 
maple... but I try not to cut anything down right away... give it some time 
and see if it comes back out.
That is my advise...
