Twin
Seed
I live in northern Michican Zone 4.
I don't know the name of this hybrid maple. The sales person told me it would only get about 20 feet tall. I've attached photos of the twig & parent.
June – I salvaged some twigs from a damaged branch and tried to root them. All died, save one.
August – All the leaves (2) fell off but the twig stayed green so I left it alone. A new sprout appeared and two weeks later two new leaves.
Sept 20 - Blossoms have begun to sprout.
My questions are: Should I try to force it to go dormant or, should I let
nature take it’s course?
Is this twig a good candidate to attempt my first Bonsai?
Thanks in advance for any help.
