My Mikawa Yatsubusa. I’m going to air layer the top left branch and then continue training on the journey of transformation for this bonsai. Next year it gets a nice pot.

Our Japanese Maple collection has been enhanced with the arrival of four new varieties from Mr. Maple, a prominent nursery offering Japanese Maples and other trees. These new additions include Japanese Princess, which is an exquisite new pink dwarf variant of 'Mikawa yatsubusa'. It leafs out in colors from hot pink to coral; Nishiki Gawa, a rare variety with striking pine-like bark, Taro Yama, an exceptional dwarf with a unique dense habit and an electric and fiery crimson red fall color, and Anne-Irene, a delicate variety with exquisite lace-like leaves, which leafs out with bright golden yellow leaves that can be outlined in a frilly red border. Can’t wait to see these next spring and as they develop under our care. We will be offering grafts next year, if all goes as planned.

One of my favorite Japanese Maples. Kamagata. One of JD Vertrees discoveries. Excellent for bonsai. This tree gets full sun all morning and early afternoon … with late afternoon shade. First 2 photos are from about 2 weeks ago. Then, It has developed this orangey coloration in the last week or so.
