Masterpiece
A nice Japanese Maple where would you be looking?
@namnhi Bill doesn't have very many developed trees for sale. Bill has masterpieces, and cuttings.
@VAFisher you are not far from Jim Doyle. Depending on your taste, he has a number of field-grown trident maples from Randy Knight in that price range.
If you find a place that is selling japanese maples worth $600 please let me know, i would drop everything i'm doing and start driving there now. The lack of availability in north america of well-started japanese maple bonsai is a huge obstacle for us! I complain about it all the time, and I plan to contribute to improving the situation, and hope that others will join me. But even nurseries that should be starting a few thousand maples now (Mirai...) for the future generation, are not doing it! I'm hoping that Andrew Robson does it! (It is a difficult challenge to take on, because you don't see any income from sales for the first 25-30 years... it has to be a side-gig)

Am curious on the reason to airlayer this early in the game for that little tree. At the beginning of bonsai hobby, I want to have many trees but later I find that it better to let them grow then layer them when they approach the size you want. This is a potted tree so there is no danger it...www.bonsainut.com

It’s tricky to find much in the $500-$1500 range for some reason. This one has some great age, but I’d ask for more shots of the base before I bought it.

Not getting a response may have actually been a success in this case...I tried reaching out to Growing Grounds, but I failed.

I would give Chris and Lisa Kirk a call at Telperion Farms to see what they have on hand. They were developing some nice ones a few years ago. I have not stopped in there for three or four years. They brought a couple up to Portland for the Rendezvous last September if i recall correctly!A nice Japanese Maple where would you be looking?
#2 that’s a good looking maple! Better deal than #1 imo.Out of these 2 trees, which would you choose if price was similar? Tree 1 is listed at 35" tall.
