	Maple
		Maples (Acer species) are deciduous trees (sometimes shrubs) often grown for the shade they produce and their exceptional autumn color.
		Maples "bleed," and while pruning them in spring when the sap is flowing does not harm them, the sap is messy and pruning at that time is typically avoided.
		To reduce susceptibility to disease and insects, and ensure minimum impact on the growth of the tree, prune twigs and branches early in the growth of the tree.
