A workman accidentally got some black primer on the top of our mature green maple bush. Will the paint harm the bush? Can I trim the painted area, and should I wait until winter when the leaves drop off?
It would be very unlikely that this would damage the plant. I would leave it as is for now and not remove the leaves unless they are very unsightly, as they will still be used for photosynthesis. Just remember to keep up your regular maintenance and watering.
