This maple was dug from a garden in 2012 and spent about four years in a plastic pot before graduating to a bonsai pot.

It is not your standard style of Japanese maple as it has some shari in places but it still exhibits some beautiful leaf colour, and the size of the leaves is quite small. All good attributes for a bonsai maple. At present I think it looks better in leaf however I am hopeful that the winter ramification will improve over time.
