This isn't a bonsai BUT I have my eye on it to maybe become a bonsai. With foliage colour like this its a no brainer for me however my darling has other ideas.
I'll keep you posted if it become a reality, if there is no further correspondence you will know I have failed to convince her. Wish me luck.

Re: Japanese Maple
Don’t give up on this one Watto, it would make a beautiful bonsai.
Whenever I poach something from the garden or a pot, I make sure I buy a similar or more suited plant as a replacement, so that I’m actually doing us a ‘favour’ by improving the garden or patio.

Re: Japanese Maple
You can go the other way with this as well, eg. "hey you know that maple out the front? yea it was infested with scale, I got rid of it so it didn't spread to any other plants".Nate.bonsai wrote: ↑March 16th, 2021, 7:42 pm Whenever I poach something from the garden or a pot, I make sure I buy a similar or more suited plant as a replacement, so that I’m actually doing us a ‘favour’ by improving the garden or patio.

Re: Japanese Maple
That cheeky little trident has to go.
Good thoughts so far and from opposite ends of the spectrum, thank you.

Re: Japanese Maple
To the love of your life (wife not bonsai!)
“I love the maple but those beautiful colours are just not quite right in that rustic pot!”
Yes I see what you mean...
“Hmm - I might look at a new glazed pot for the maple and put something more applicable in the terracotta.”
That’s why I love my Watto, you’re a genius ..
“Thanks”
....
When the new pot is small and shallow ....
Watto!!!
“What!?” ... “I said glazed...”
And ...
Run.

Tending bonsai teaches me patience.
