We don't seem to have a winner? Or does it keep on going until someone guesses what it is? In that case

I will go one step further then, I think it is a Acer Palmatum arakawa. I am probably wrong but the older bark looks as though it is developing "warts" which is usually how rough bark maples begin to roughen up.

To help it along a bit, I think a lot of people have not noticed the "Thorns"

I think Steven is away at the moment he has not been on the site for over a week.

Steven has been too busy with work the last few months as he has been short staffed.

Re: Guess the size, pot and species to win!
Sorry for the delay! Things have been somewhat busy here at the AusBonsai office.
This was a tricky one due to the twigs that look like thorns... yes twigs, not thorns.
The winner is... Watto
Thanks for playing everyone! Thanks again to Scott Roxburgh for the generous donation of seeds
Regards,
Steven

What threw me was the flower/fruiting spurs with the sharp spine on the end, looked like thorns.
