Pruning My Dwarf Yuri Hime Japanese Maple

I give my Yuri Hime Japanese Maple an early summer pruning - trimming to profile and thinning dense areas. I also take some cuttings in the hopes of propagating more. I'll be thrilled if even one cutting takes. I love and highly recommend this cultivar; it has tiny leaves and short internodes, ideal for small bonsai like my tree shown here.

Very nice Yuri Hime JP, and good luck with your cuttings...those terrarium cups should to the trick with the rooting. Where can i get those?

Nice colours on that cultivar. I hope those cuttings work. I should find some pots like those.

Yes, I love the leaf color on this one. Keeping it in full sun has allowed the reddish margin to persist. I got the pot on Bonsai Outlet.

Good luck rooting your cuttings, I am trying to root my Beni Maiko, kiyo hime, butterfly and orange dream at the moment 3 weeks in let’s see 😊

Thanks! Good luck to you as well. Those are some nice cultivars.
