The Trophy 2021 - Tree evolution: Acer palmatum from Wilfried Nieswandt

[@Bonsaifly]

The fact that every professional always says that Japanese Maple don't grow thick in a pot was just proven wrong. Inspirational!!

[@paolomh113]

Very interesting! This tree has not changed much since first picture, of course is much better now but the structure seem to be almost same!! No sacrifice branches? No big cuts? No graft? No letting extend much?

woow Awesome evolution. The trunk has gained a lot of weight. What is your fertilization routine?

[@paolomh113]

Magnificent! Will be good to know how many years in evolution and some details for example I guess it was transplanted into the ground for a long while? Thank you for sharing.

I've had the tree since November 1989. The tree was always in a pot, never in the ground. The first picture was taken in 1995, the newest one is from 2020
