Mid-summer Madness Acer Buergerianum

I missed doing the normal winter repot so come the stressful hot days the leaves got ratty. Hence the untimely decision to slip pot, which 'though into a larger pot meant root pruning which I have tried to keep to a minimum. To keep stress on the tree to as little as possible I have completely removed the foliage leaving only the leaf stalks.

I was forced into a root prune and repot a few weeks ago of a trident and its growing well. I think aftercare is important when repotting at this time od year.

Newb question: what is 'to slip pot'

Great looking tree btw!

To slip pot, is to remove it from one pot into a larger pot without doing any root work. Literally pull it out of one and put it into another larger pot. Water.

Nice tree.
I've learnt few more words from this threat.
Do we have a bonsai to English dictionary in this forum?

Hi ric , very nice tree there . With such a tree slip potting would be like a walk in the park . As Brian has said its the aftercare that is important

[quote="Ryozo"]Newb question: what is 'to slip pot'

Hi Ryozo , mate "slip potting" is when you remove a tree from a pot??? be it nursery or bonsai pot and pot it into another container be it larger or smaller , deeper or shallower ,nursery or bonsai container . Root pruning can take place but it should be minimal if it is out of the root pruning season . I have recently dug a largish Trident trunk out of the grow bed and slipped it into a bonsai pot , this too is slip potting , the grow bed is just a growing container of a different kind . It was root pruned in the form of a shovel , yes it is still alive after 5 weeks

The Sango Kaku Maples I have recently purchased have all been slip potted into various containers .

There is a topic here , "Simple slip potting" worth a look .

Cheers Alpineart

Thanks Alpineart,
I'm trying to do more with my smaller Tridents in the way of refinement. I will post a photo when the leaves open.

Cheers Ric

Hi Ric,
Isn't Feb a bit late for full defoliation? I hope it leafs out and sets buds for next year

Cheers,
