Hi all,
Again thank you all for sharing so much information. I have been lurking on this website for a while, and finally decided to make the jump into bonsai myself!
Yesterday I went to Bonsai ENR in Quebec, Canada, and bought my first bonsai: an Acer Palmatum "select", whose parent tree apparently came from Vertrees in Oregon. I will be growing this tree outdoors in Montreal (but will take into a garage in the winter).
This branch was planted 15-20 years ago, i was told.
I wanted something with a trunk that was really wide down low, with a thick and very low first branch. This one satisfied those criteria.
I of course welcome any tips, recommendations, and visions! This is all brand new to me
I was told not to re-plant or graft until March or April. Would any of you recommend grafting in June/July or is this risky? I was going to use a lower, long, thin branch from the tree and pass it through a hole that I would drill higher-up on the tree.
Thank you!
Derek
