    I finally got around to pruning our bloodgood this morning. I did film it and although I thought it was going to be a very long project, I did it with three main strategic cuts.
    It has been growing between two very large canadian maples and a walnut tree that we planted back in 1992.
    It gets virtually no sun now, although it does retain its deep red foliage (thankfully).
    I have never pruned it since transplanting it from its container back in 1992. The top branches have been reaching for the sun for a few years now.

    A nicer week of weather with a few warm days so now the tree is slowly coming into form
