Posting out of pure excitement and in an effort to keep better track of my trees.
I purchased this tree from Matt Ouwinga of Kaede Bonsai-En and could not be happier. If any of you have dealt with Matt you know how encouraging he is and his knowledge on both maples and Japanese pottery in general is second-to-none. I highly recommend purchasing from him.
This little maple is loaded with character and its rather unusual branch structure is the reason I decided to buy it. Don't worry, as the leaves drop I will post pictures of said structure
Anyhow, come spring time this little maple will get a well deserved repot as well as some refinements to the branch placement that will dramatically change the canopy. Once the tree is in a larger pot I also plan to remove all of the moss (which does a great job of keeping it from drying out too quickly) and expose the beautiful spreading nebari. Matt had said this tree was over 40 yrs old and it shows.
Until then, I will simply let it sit on the stand and enjoy the fall colors that are just starting to emerge.
