Lots of branch options with this one. It was surprising to find a vine maple with this much ramification.
Those tiny leaves are the perfect scale to create a mini big-leaf maple.
The plan is to draw inspiration from the local trees and create a loose broom style.
The tentative plan:
This winter, when the tree is naked, go in and remove some of the branches. Seal wounds.
In spring, repot. Then, after the first flush hardens off (Juneish), give it a haircut to start building ramification closer to the trunk.
Thoughts, opinions? I know that vine maples are relative newcomers to the bonsai world, so any tips/advice are appreciated.
