Okay so the other part of my birthday gift was a Jap Maple. I originally was going to get Bloodgood, because I thought those were the best, and while I was debating on oaks I went and looked for what @MACH5 suggested arakawa or sharp's pygmy... Unfortunately there were none.
I remember reading that Emperor were superior to Bloodgood and went with that. I knew that the graft was pretty bad looking but had no idea until after talking to a friend that it could possibly come apart.
I got this tree with the intentions of learning and experimenting, pretty much just allowing the mother to grow wild, taking cuttings and air layers... But I don't want it to fall apart lol
My questions are, should I try and airlayer the base now or spring? ... Can I introduce wire to some of the branches now to create movement and air layer them off next year?
As always... Any other tips or suggestions are well welcomed.
