Late Spring Trim – Acer Campestre

This bonsai flowered quite well and then produced many seeds, but now it is time to reduce the growth a little bit and cut all the seed pods off. This is part of the annual cycle for this tree and I have occasionally left a few seeds to mature to grow bonsai from bonsai which is fun, but not this year.

I am considering defoliation of this bonsai this coming summer but that decision will be made at a later time.

The seeds are prominent before the trim.
