Species Acer Palmatum (Japanese Maple)
Bought Height 530mm
Current Height 200mm
Where from A to Z Starters
Cost bought as part of a batch sale (probably about $10)
Probably be hard to have this one looking "totally finished" within allocated time frame, however it something I'll enjoy working on for years to come, so see how we go
Trunk chop already done reducing height from 53cm to 20cm, rootwork done - reduced to a reasonable flat root spread.
Cheers, Ryan

Re: [cre8ivbonsai] Acer Palmatum 2
Another update ... fair amount of growth, trimmed occasionally to shorten internodes, initial wiring removed as it had started biting, and bit so bad on the leader that it snapped removing the wire. New leader to choose, and a long way to go.

Re: [cre8ivbonsai] Acer Palmatum 2
double update. did a low chop about december ... but the growth was like two arms so with nothing to lose I removed the growth and a wedge and attempt to regrow upright growth, don't have much faith in what can be achieved from this, but I'll persist and see what happens
