I had a spare pot and couldnt resist nicer lodging for this tree. Slip potted it into the new pot. Didnt remove any roots or anything. Should be fine.

End of year. Really pleased with development. For those that say rubrum are not an all around great subject due to x or y, there are some examples out there proving otherwise. Maybe one day this one will be an example of a good quality shohin.

Nice work staying on your path with this one.
I agree that scale is an issue here if trying to represent a convincing miniature.
However, I believe not all trees have to fallow these guidelines. Sometimes it’s the impact a tree makes that is most important.
If you can get a positive emotion from the viewer, you’ve done something right.

I really dont think the leaf size, internode length, and petiole length are as unconquerable as people often say.

I had the wrong current front above. See current and proposed.

Leafing out. Best moment.

Well done! These maples are always fascinating to watch and witness their opening and spring development.
My preference is to keep roots well covered for best growth.

Thanks! This tree should get mossed over by end of spring/summer so the exposed roots arent really a worry of mine at the moment. If the tree starts to show signs of drying out too fast, Ill cover them with sphagnum.

The tree seems to back-bud really well giving lots of ongoing choices and opportunities.
