Erwin
Seedling
Hi, so i bought this a few weeks back. My first japanese maple this and a forest at that. Since i do not want to kill this (killed so many in the years) i thought i'd ask advice.
For caring i have it placed on a fairly windstill place on the south. I live in the NL and we did not really have full sun but i understood i wil need to cover any direct sunlight so i was able to create some shadow also. I als placed some bio pellets (N: 6 - P: 5-K: 2)
I did defoliate a few leaves that were burned or looked to big, kept the stem as to do that correctly.
My questions i think are how to proceed in developing this, the styling and and the horizon in pruning. I think i have to wait with any pruning and wiring until dormancy is this correct? Repotting is probably not a thing yet since they are so young and look just established for a year or so. Well i would love to get some advice if anyone has some.
