Acer palmatum beni chidori (from cutting)

[clem]

hello, here's another palmatum projet : a beni chidori from cutting.

The tree is the nursery in september 2019 ->


I bought it because of its curves in thr trunk and the nebari ->


The tree during repotting in march 2019 ->




November 2019 ->


The tree today : i think i'll cut the straight trunk (in june) and make the new trunk line with the lower left branche (organe line) ->

In my opinion you should start on building that trunk. That thick branch should be cut off. I like your plan for the new trunk

It has beautiful bark and nice radial roots

The grow box is perfect

its a really nice tree

Great start! Looks like it's growing vigorously. Are you planning on changing the planting angle?

Nice start @clem !

Can I please ask what nursery this Beni Chidori and your Deshojo (https://www.bonsainut.com/threads/acer-palmatm-deshojo-from-cutting.42618/) came from (in France, i assume)? Is it a pre-bonsai nursery or a nursery selling landscape trees?

Thank you

I agree with you, i'll cut the big left branch in June (to avoid sap bleeding) !
thx

you mean inclining to the right ? to make a more upright style ?

Thank you

those very good trees come from " LES PEPINIERES BOTANIQUES ARMORICAINES" in Saint Roch 22390 Saint Adrien (France)

This nursery has no internet page, and the owner sell his trees to anybody (Bonsai enthusiasts are maybe 10% of his clients).
I took pics in this page (no need to understand french to look at it ^^) ->

Very rare cultivar in America and very traditional maple for Bonsai in Japan.

Yes

 

[clem]

Yes

ok i tried to change its inclination a little in this last summer pic.


i'll try more inclination when i'll repot it, i think the truck line would be better

OK. I NEED to come and visit you. AND you need to take me there!

 

[clem]

OK. I NEED to come and visit you. AND you need to take me there!

Next time, when you visit France, you can visit this very nice nursery .. and buy some very nice trees from cutting

Are you planning on changing the planting angle?

Or maybe keep the actual inclination (for example if the nebari is better like that) and make something like that virtual ->

 

[clem]

some news : it grows...
The 1rst right branch is a sacrifice branch


Some pics of scars ->

Really great vision, love how this looks!!
I have a short fat Beni Chidori.. Its done overly well this first year I've had it. Black tips on leaves for the most part.
Will watch your thread to learn more about how the cultivar reacts to things

 

[clem]

Ok we'll learn together

 

[ConorDash]

Whoops, that was supposed to say its NOT done overly well...

 

[leatherback]

Whoops, that was supposed to say its NOT done overly well...

You had me wondering whether you actually wanted to have black tips!

 

[Rivian]

The new leaves look so red! I thought Benichidori spring leaves were supposed to be soft pink and then fade to green. Thats kind of why I put it on my "to buy" list after Peter Chan mentioned them a lot as a great cultivar.
Maybe I had the wrong impression about this cultivar, I already have deshojo so I dont really need another one that leaves out red-ish.
Anyway, nice progression

It has really red colors in November but in spring, Beni Chidori colors are more pink, and evolve with orange nuances during the season : (it's very different from the Deshojo cultivar has you can see on the coming pics)
