Hey everybody,
My first post here at bonsainut, thought id show you my maple tree in training
I found the tree in the woods aprox. 2-2,5 years ago for the purpose to make it into a bonsai. I think it is about 5-6 years old in total.
I had never started on my own bonsai before that, i have only had 2 Chinese elms, but i just had to make my own maple bonsai. Maple is my absolute favorite tree. Just cant get enough.
Well, so i found the tree, but since it was my first attempt i almost killed it right then and there, almost all the roots were removed, i cant remember the reason, but only two long 1cm thick roots were left. So i decided to just stick it in the ground and wait it out, untill it had recovered.
And now it has been a little over 2 years and i finally took the decicion to put it into a training pot(Think thats what i should call it?) so that it can start rooting in there and start to take shape.
It is my first "homemade " bonsai, so im just taking it slow, letting it settle. And im planning on to put it into a real bonsai pot in prob. 2-3 years time. We'll see how it goes.
So i thought id just show you some pictures of it, feel free to comment both positive and negitive i dont mind. Im still learning so any advice would be great
