Japanese Maple/s Bonsai - or is it??

Post by Hutch11 »

Hi Everyone,

Here is a photo of a few Japanese Maples that I took whilst out visiting a local nursery. I really like how they look... However they are in very deep garden pots which made me ask the question.. are they bonsai?

Thoughts? Discussion?

i would call them bonsia in training... but not to the nrsery! that would bump the price up! tell them they look a little ill and you want to rescue them!!!

they have good ramification and plenty of branche to choose from!! i would be happy with just the one if i could get it!
SHOHIN YAKUZA!!!

The first one has leaves that look like those of japanese maple. It has good base and root spread. Don't know how big it is but I would pay $150 for it.

Edit: I would tell the nursery man that he could keep the pots, just sell me the trees :)

Always we hope someone else has the answer.
Bonsai is an art of shrinking.
