Lee has a container of trees on the way over from Japan
I have my heart set on a couple but I'm not sure if I'll be able to get up to the open day
I will have to cut my spending for a while though got a garden to create
I wonder if I put the dims up could we all help me design my Japanese garden lol

Where did you find this gem? Is it imported?

Hi Joe
I was very fortunate, I went to the nursery to collect my white beech group whist there I was busy looking for another tree as I had some money from gifts at Christmas
I spotted the maple and luckily enough the guy that had brought it had to give it back due to work and being out of the country for to long.
I instantly left a deposit, the tree was a bargain to imo!
I paid £325.00 , the tree was imported from Japan originally
Only a phone pic of how it looked last weekend.
I shall grab the camera and try my luck at a better shot this weekend

Very nice. I think it needs reducing by about 30% or a bit more.......In size I mean

I agree, $350 USD is a bargain! Especially for an import.

Very nice maple Chopsie! I agree with MichelS that I would reduce it's height and overall volume for better proportions.

Killer deal and a beautiful tree.

Hi all
New pot for the maple

 

[JudyB]

Killing it! Once that pot gets a little patina on it... The shallowness is perfect!

 

[Velodog2]

Doing it right! More pics as it buds out please. Nice display of the nebari!
