Awesome !! If that pot does not work out and I must say that pot and tree combo will look fantastic I have a little pyracantha I could put in it as long as that pot is at least 18" from left to right and 12 from front to back HEHEHE... I think you will get in with that tree. Great tree as with...

wayne it was at johns for a whole 24 hours I had my eye on it for a while and he dug it the day before I got it ;)

Yes that is the issue as well as an errant squirrel that thinks the tree grew it for him to snack on

I mix my own soil I have a video on it on my channel mostly turface, lava and pine bark fines. And those weeds are a violet like plant that has a nice little flower that blooms and helps keep the soil moist. I will weed them after they are finished being pre bonsai:D

Well just a small update from late summer I love when a plan comes together Muhaaaaa Yes a branch exactly where I needed it now can I keep it viable and alive?????

Yup I do as well If you want it to stay small keep it in the container you have it in or a little larger to help with development. If you want it to get bigger transplant it in to a much larger container and fertilize it and keep soil moist these like to drink and resist cutting it and watch it...

Lookin good mach :)

Liking the progress....

Thank you, and will do .

Yes, I always do my thread grafting just as I see movement on the buds in spring and even then you do not get 100% success. not sure how a late spring/early summer thread graft would fair.

All right as promised this spring was a little bit of a nail biter on this tree as I removed 95% of the root mass and 99% of the foliage .It sulked longer than the rest of my trees but then I saw a few buds starting to swell I got excited . I was also saddened to find the 3 branches I left on...

Enjoying the progress on this tree .

Yes I actually have one I have found that they can get away from you very quickly as well. All the carving in the video took me approx. 10-15 minutes on the whole tree. out of all the carving bits I have tried I like that one the best you can hog off the material or get very delicate with it and...

Call local nurseries and see if any have some, that is where I lucked up on mine. If they have a large assortment of Japanese maples they will have a grower they purchase from and can usually order what you want.

Thank you for the kind complement :)

Thanks, I looked at this tree for 2 hours turning it all over the place and this current front shows the best nebari the back of the tree as currently seen has no nebari to speak of and the current front shows the best movement what seems to be reverse taper is actually the first cut that was...

Thanks Mach. Not after you see what it currently looks like and with my growing season as long as it is the branches will be the size they need to be in 2-3 years max with ramification starting..

Thanks, I don't like picking it up solo... It is about all I can do by myself.

Judy, the carving was done last November. The tree has since exploded with growth I will be getting a pic up in the next few days to show the current state of the tree .
