Amur Maple No. 2

[Shogun610]

Hi, Amur maple it’s a nice little shohin sized tree with decent trunk. Needs a total overhaul in soil media and the root base. I will take care of that by repotting into a training pot or colander next spring.. but I like the size .. just needs more fine branching , also gotta bring the foliage back tighter .. I think a shade net treatment is in order .. it worked for getting back budding to occur on some other maple projects I’m doing in secret.

Have you had any problems with unpredictible die back? I've heard Amur's can have a lot of unexplained die back.

Not really .. I have noticed though they can be slow to back bud on lower parts of the trunk..

I have one I've neglected for years. It seems to finally be happy sitting in full-sun. I have only watered it this year. It probably needs to be repotted and chopped.

Yours looks nice. I don't know how well these will take to shohin dimensions, but yours seems to have bones that warrant trying.

Yes, they love full sun
