New Japanese Maple

Post by Gerard »

I picked up a new Japanese maple yesterday, it is a little big for bonsai but given a few years I might come up with something nice.

Hi gerard,

If you are unsure about what type of bonsai to make from this specimen I would suggest you let the tree just grow and produce seed that you can capture to create more maple bonsai. It is almost as much fun as ramification work. :tu:

Cheers,

Brad75.
