  • How do you decide on the shape of a Maple Bonsai? In this video I show you the process of deciding the shape of the tree. I use many examples as the more options I show you the more confident you will become when making that choice yourself.
    Every tree has a different styling option. It is important to decide what works, whether a broom style tree or a twin trunk or any other shape and style Bonsai. Bear in mind that usually the base of the tree will determine to a large extent what the front of the Bonsai will be.
    Top Tip: When you cut the trunk leave about an inch or so as a stub and don’t cut flush to the trunk as it will die back to the next point. Once cut you can use a wound sealant.
    Don’t forget making bonsai takes patience.

    "Life is about choices". Love how Peter occasionally talks about life while teaching about Bonsai.

    Thank you so much for this video. You've just saved the little mapel I bought. As a complete novice I was going to start chopping branches and cutting roots to fit it into a bonsai pot. I've now put it into a bigger pot to let it get strong and hopefully a nice thick trunk. Looking forward to watching your other videos.

    I cannot thank you enough, I've been trying to find information on how to bonsai larger trees (I have a 7ft oak and 6ft acer), but not knowing where to start, and scared of killing them. You are a wonderful tutor, concise, understandable, informative, and enjoyable. Thankyou!

    Interesting insight into your method for growing maples for bonsai. Also very good point about allowing for die back and compartmentalisation of cut wounds.
