- This Japanese maple forest was one of my first compositions, and holds a special place in my heart. It was put together using 6x £3 saplings from a local garden centre and planted into a £14 plastic 40cm bonsai tray from Amazon.co.uk
The variety is “butterfly” which is a variegated plant with creamy borders to the leaves, and as a single tree can appear a bit insipid and weak. However it seems to work fantastically Kim a group planting.
This video shows the bonsai progression through several seasons, including a snowy winter, and the change in leaf colour can clearly be seen.
Enjoy 🙏
Very nice summary of this forest’s progression.
Thank you. It has been a bit slow this growing season.
This is developing very nicely Jason. When the canopy knits together it's going to create a fantastic image! Also, I definitely have to get myself some of those Chinese figures!
Thanks Tony. It is one of my earliest and favourites of my own efforts. It demonstrates that a nice effect can be achieved with inexpensive materials from any garden centre or supermarket. It will only continue to mature into a nice maple grove, as seen on a quiet hilltop.
Very nice progression Jason. Can you advise where you sourced the blue cloth screens with the fish please? Thanks we would be great Nabors!
Check out Japanese Noren Curtain on Amazon. I’m in the UK and paid about £8 GBP.
