bonsai barry
Omono
Last year, Smoke started a thread where several us documented our spring work on maples. My contributions were short lived since my tree died.
I'm starting a new thread this year with the hopes that the tree can at least survive until summer. I bought this tree last year. When I repotted in January I thread grafted two maple seedlings into the base of the trunk to improve the nebari.
I'm not very skillful with my hands and the wood was much hard than I thought (I guess that's why its called a hardwood). My technique looked like a first timer, which I was, but I think at least one of the grafts is going to make it.
