Whicked collected Maple update:
May 22nd I came across this really cool Red Maple when clearing out a friends back yard. I knew it was little late in spring to collect, but the trunk was to unique not to at least try and it would of been thrown in a wood chipper if not Was willing to give it a shot. So just under a month and it's doing great.!! New buds forming all over and even new branching. Every leaf is new and all is looking normal except these leaves at the top of the highest branch. They look deformed ? I know certain trees will give off weird leaves if they are lacking something, but every other leaf looks perfect. Was thinking maybe sunburn, but leaves edges don't look like a sunburn leaf? Not bugs, I check every day and had my share of bug problems in the pass wit bonsai. Also the leaves edges aren't chewed. If lacking a nutrient wouldn't all leaves be like that?..... First 2 pictures are right when collected. The remaining pictures are new growth of the deformed and normal leaves
