At the landscape nursery i work at, we have a species of japanese maple known as the "Lion's Head" [Acer palmatum 'Shishigashira']. They are nothing like normal japanese maples, the leaves grow extremely dense and close to the main trunks, with a deep green color.
I was considering air grafting one next spring, but i was curious if anyone has seen a bonsai of this species. Let me know if u have any ideas or suggestions to if this would be a good specimen for a bonsai. Thanks!
