hello all
here i have a tree over rock that i bought as a trident maple but i'm fairly sure that it's actually acer ginnala (amur maple), i was told by an old hand at bonsai that the two were often confused and that even bonsai dealers often got them mixed up
...
it's a shohin sized tree (about 8" including the pot) in a very plain round terra cotta pot (that i appear to have missed due to my pathetic camera skills
in the nude....
and fully clothed
...sorry, i can't make up my mind on a front....
here is the same tree with two siblings
, unfortunately, the centre one didn't make it through winter
i bought them at the bonsai expo (traders sort of 'get together') here in sheffield, england in 2006..
