Hi all,
Thanks in advance for any advice. My parents have had this beautiful Japanese dwarf maple tree for the last 3-4 decades, and it grew a new branch about 2-4 years ago that is not very “dwarf.” It’s starting to get pretty tall and entangled with the tree behind/above it. Also there’s more and healthier looking leaves on this new branch compared to the rest of the tree.
Is there any way to prune this branch so it goes back to its dwarf status without affecting the rest of the tree? Or should we leave it alone? If it can be pruned, when should we prune it?

Welcome to r/arborists! Help Us Help You: If you have questions about the health of your tree, please see our [Posting Guidelines](https://old.reddit.com/r/arborists/wiki/posting_guidance) wiki page for help with effective posting. **Please answer the questions listed there to the best of your ability.** ***Insufficient pics/info could result in the removal of your post!!*** ([See rule 3](https://www.reddit.com/r/arborists/about/rules).)
Visit the main wiki page for [Critical Planting/Care tips and Common Errors to Avoid](https://old.reddit.com/r/arborists/wiki/index); there’s sections on why planting depth/root flare exposure is so vital, along with sections on proper mulching, watering, pruning and more that I hope will be useful to you.
If you’re posting about a tree ID (not permitted here; [see rule 1](https://www.reddit.com/r/arborists/about/rules)), see that wiki page for other subs and smartphone apps to try.
Here is how you can arrange a [consult with a local ISA arborist in your area](http://www.treesaregood.org/findanarborist/findanarborist) (NOT a ‘tree company guy’ unless they’re ISA certified) or a [consulting arborist](https://www.asca-consultants.org/search/custom.asp?id=3818) for an on-site evaluation. A competent arborist should be happy to walk you through how to care for the trees on your property and answer any questions. If you’re in the U.S. or Canada, your Extension (or master gardener provincial program) may have a list of local recommended arborists on file. If you’re in the U.S., you should also consider searching for arborist associations under your state.

A sprout from below the graft. Remove it years ago. In the future, remove ASAP.
