I have Japanese Maple that seems to be extremely healthy, but it is crowding out my rhodedenron. I don't want to kill it but need to prune, I will try to post a picture of it so you can see. There are a few pics of the front yard beds, (under spring 2004) that show the rhody being crowded by the maple and the whole front yard including the flox Webshots Screen name on the webist is gaylej189 good luck finding the pics
