Damn, that’s gonna be a badass little bonsai someday!! Kotohime maples have such tiny internodes and leaves sorta like Shishigashira maples. How long u been growing that Kotohime? Thanks for sharing
Can i ask what time of year you did the big trunk chop on this lovely little tree? ive got a fairly large maple that was reduced at the end of last season but its not really a good species for bonsia as the leaves are very large. its a grafted tree with a nice base and root spread. it started to die off at the top so i thought i might just chop it down to the acer palmatum graft as it started to put out some good shoots. im just worried i'll kill it if i do it at the wrong time.
@@TomLongAnimation safest time to make a big chop is after the first flush of growth in spring has extended and the leaves have hardened off. in my case i chopped around mid may. only do big work if the tree looks very healthy.
Mantap bosku bonsainya cantik 👍👍👍
You really have to be able to see the end product as you grow and prune these!
