Hello,
I need some help for choosing a red japanese maple cultivar.
I already have a grafted Deshojo and following the discussion here https://www.bonsainut.com/threads/how-do-i-air-layer-at-a-y-a-p-shindeshejo.32710/ I started to look for a new tree. Found a nursery withing acceptable distance that may have the following cultivars, not grafted.
Acer palmatum Beni Otake
Acer palmatum Beni Schichihenge
Acer palmatum Bloodgood
Acer palmatum Fireglow
Acer palmatum Inaba Shidare
Acer palmatum Katsura
Acer palmatum Okagami
Acer palmatum Going Green
Acer palmatum Osakazuki
Acer palmatum Atropurpureum
Acer palmatum Pixie
Acer palmatum Omurayama
Acer palmatum Red Emperor (maybe Emperor I??)
Acer palmatum Shaina
Acer palmatum Shindeshojo
Acer palmatum Skeeters Broom
Acer palmatum Sangokaku
Acer palmatum Orange Dream
Which one would you choose for a new project? I would prefer a medium size bonsai.
The summers are pretty hot here and I mostly have space to grow the tree on a balcony with direct sun on the afternoons. For that reason I was thinking about the fireglow, developed in Italy with a similar climate.
If needed I could find another place where the tree will have light all day and direct sun for about 3 hours, between 11:00-14:00
I could go to the nursery at the begining of next week. I'm searching the net for more info on those cultivars, but until now most of the info found is regarding growing the trees for landscape and that leaves me in the dark regarding leaf size, internode distance, tree's vigor etc.
Any help for choosing a good cultivar is really appreciated.
Thanks!
