Sigh of relief

I have a postage stamp sized front garden with this dwarf Acer in the centre. Well I say dwarf as it's supposed to grow to 5 foot but it had reached 8 foot and showed no sign of stopping.
I took the loppers to it over the winter and took a good 3 foot off it then worried that I'd killed it.
I'm glad to say it is flourishing and covered in these little pink flowers which I've never seen before so I think it did it some good. The pesky aphids seem to be loving it too, I just need some hungry ladybirds to move in now.

I’ve heard that trimming bushes and trees stimulates new growth and this looks to prove it. Love the colors and focus.

It was a good idea to trim it, but I would see if you can get some stuff the spray the tree to get rid of the aphids. fav. shot.
