You mentioned Ginkgo, do you have examples of a ginkgo reset?

Awesome! I'm assuming you just recorded this and wondering how long before repotting season you would make these types of cuts to Japanese maples (assuming you have a greenhouse to protect them)...a month? More? Doing this before repotting season spreads out the workload, which is nice.
