good to see that other variants of acer are also made for bonsai 💪
I’m a total fanatic about variegated Acers. I’d love to see more people training them for bonsai! Thanks for watching and dropping a comment!! 🙏🏽 🪴 💪🏽
It's so beautiful you put that beautiful amethyst in the path ❤
🙏🏽 I’m a sucker for jewel tones. Perfect with the oridono nishiki and the turquoise Nao Tokutake rectangle pot. You will love my episode on root over rock, I used an amethyst for one and a piece of Afghanite for the deshojo.
Looking sweet Pat!
Thanks bro!
Good progress lots to do still but that's the fun . Not just looking at well developed trees.right.
Yeah, this thing has a ton of development still ahead of it. Crazy to see the contrast compared to one of the prebonsai projects I started with those 10+ year built pre bonsai.
@@acer_p_bonsai there is no shortcut to a good looking tree
Facts! I’m kind of glad I’m capturing this composition young. Not super impressive yet, but will probably be cool to look back on the old footage in 5-10 years!
Any japanese maple variety should be trained into bonsai they are so gorgeous 😍🥰 I'm waiting to get ukigumo and Taylor ❤❤❤❤❤ before weekend 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I got a beautiful show from my Ukigumo this spring, but I don’t have a Taylor. Great cultivars!!! 🤩 💥 🪴 🍁
Looking good! I need to get some forests going myself to add variety and change up things a bit.
Go for it! Any idea what cultivar(s) you want to use?
@@acer_p_bonsai Honestly not entirely sure, any ideas? Maybe some small leaf varieties like kotohime and shishigashira. Thought about doing one with a few different varieties for a nice fall display of varying colors also. What do you think?
🤩 I like both ideas, homie. I don’t have any kotohime, but have seen them on display at Nationals…super compact!! I was thinking the same on doing a mixed forest. Or what about going super crazy with a single mutant tree with each branch grafted with different foliage!!
@@acer_p_bonsai yeah man, there’s so many options. The potential with maples seems endless! I like that idea, I’m excited to experiment myself. I have a kotohimie and kiyohime coming from Ed. Still would need a shishigashira, but first I need to get out of Florida and to a better area for growing maples before I can really push the boundries and maximize their potential lol
If I do a major trunk chop now, is it likely I’ll get some back budding this year? I’m in central Texas where it stays warm all through fall.
Thx for the vid!
As long as your maple is healthy, you should be fine, but we are getting slightly past the optimal time. Depending on the size of the chop, you might consider leaving a nub to account for die back. Feel free to shoot me some photos on IG and I’d be happy to make a recommendation. Without context and details it’s hard to make a fail proof recommendation.
Thanks for tuning in! 🙏🏽 📺 🪴 🍁
