I can't seem to find much information or even many pictures of paperbark maple bonsai trees. There are a few on google images and one video on youtube, but my search within the forum didn't bring much up. There are a good few posts of people trying to grow from seed, and a few people with seedlings and saplings, but it seems no one has any trees in bonsai form?
I love griseums and have been wanting to plant one in my garden for ages but I just don't have the space and we are planning on moving house in a couple of years! I'm going back to my favourite nursery/garden centre tomorrow as I spotted a couple they had when I was there earlier today but didn't have time to look properly. They've also got about a thousand trees in their stock holding area and the tree guy there usually lets me have a look around before it gets prepped to be put out.
So are paperbarks good for bonsai? Will they take a trunk chop and all the same treatment like any other deciduous tree?
I'd be interested to hear and see what anyone else knows about them for bonsai use, or share any pictures they've come across. I'm hoping there will be something I can buy for myself as a 30th birthday treat when I go back tomorrow!
