Hello,
First time posting on this forum.
Throwing the newest addition to my collection into the ring. This is certainly not a tree that will be "done", or even close, by the end of this timeline, but I hope it will be developing in the right direction by then.
I present.. My Japanese maple. I just recently purchased it from a very nice landscaper and it has some potential to be a great tree someday, at least in my eyes. I actually purchased two, the other one is visible as well, but the one I need the most advice on is the one with the stilted nebari.
I have some very rough plans on how to develop these trees but am currently air layering out the limbs, one at a time, this year and next before making the big chop down to a shorty trunk. This will give me ample time to get some advice and decide on a game plan.
P.S. Please excuse the mess, more than half of all my other plants needed to be shifted up a container size (or three) so the pics were taken mid chaos of mixing new soil and using all of it up in one day getting a bunch of bamboo re-done....
