Five-pointed maple mostly adopts the plastic way of leaderless trunk modeling. The drying process before reaching the drying height is the key to the whole plastic trimming work. When pruning, you should cut it short and thin. First, establish an extended branch of the main stem. The terminal bud has a strong advantage and belongs to the main shaft branching type. When pruning, side branches should be inhibited to promote the growth of main branches.

If the terminal bud is weak, dead or underdeveloped, the top must be pinched and the lower branch should be selected instead of the main branch. The strong bud closest to the main shaft should be kept under the scissors, and the other pair of tender buds should be peeled. The back branch should be closest to the main shaft, and the direction of bud cutting in the second year should be opposite to that in the previous year to ensure that the growth of the extended branch does not deviate from the main shaft.

After the trunk extension branch is established, other side branches should be cut short or thinned out, and competitive side branches under the trunk extension branch should be cut off as soon as possible; The middle part below the extension branches above the trunk 1/3 can be cut short or thinned, the branches in all directions are evenly distributed, and the tree body is balanced up and down. When cutting short, weak buds are left at the cutting edge to achieve the purpose of restraining the edge and promoting the main body; Cut off the 1/3 branch to promote the growth of the main stem, and remove all the branches below.

It can be completely divided or cut. Because they all belong to Aceraceae, they have affinity and wounds are easy to heal. But the best rootstock is green maple.

Grafting Hongfeng rootstock requires good affinity and developed root system. Generally, one or two-year-old green maple (Acer negundo or Acer negundo) is selected as the rootstock.

Seeding seedlings can be used as rootstocks after sowing in the second year, and seedlings grown in that year can also be used as rootstocks if their thickness is consistent with that of scions. Height of the fixed pole: if planted on the lawn, the height is about 1.5m ... if it is next to the scenic spot, the height is about 2m.
