Hana Matoi japanese maple pruning advise needed

Hi, I have a young Hana maple that I have planted in a bed in my garden. Its seems very happy in this spot but I have a question about pruning. One of the limbs of the plant is growing at a very rapid rate. The maple itself is only about 10 in high at this point but this one limb has grown about 30 in since it was planted in the spring of this year. None of the other limbs are growing at this rate. This 30 in limb is obviously on the ground. Should I prune this one long growth or leave it be for now? If i do prune it how much of it should I cut off? Thanks. I can post a picture if it would help to answer.
