I am so jealous of this arakawa - i still don't have this species. It was very interesting hearing you talk about the issues with maples in Canada - I can't believe the price tag! Ryan Neil has a lot of good videos on Maple development. I think many of us experiment with how far into winter we can safely prune this species and still get healing. Gone are the days when we would have to apply rigid rules for different operations. All the best :)

I like the color on this tree. Green trunk and the branches a soft red. That big cut should give you a nice piece to root.

These retrospective videoes are so interesting. Thank you so much - I’m sure it’s a lot of work to make them! I recently watched the whole playlist for your first, ficus bonsai. It’s fascinating to see trees developed over the years

Oh Nigel, you broke my heart when you chopped that huge trunk off. I would have air layered that bad boy! It sounds like Japanese maples haven't been the most cooperative species in your area. Anyway, best wishes on further development on this little guy; I'm sure it will be a masterpiece someday!🌳

Hello Nigel, thanks for your video about the Arakawa Maple. You dont't like the grafted Acers. I don't love the graft, but there is a reason why thy graft the plant. It gives the plants a very healthy root system. An air layer plant gives not alway a strong root system. Here in the Netherlands 95% of all Acers are grafted plants. succes

15:18 That was a great slo-mo! 😃 I hope the Arakawa maple will stay healthy and grow into a beautiful Bonsai! I'm looking forward to that bark, too! By the way I'm always a bit indecisive when it comes to the best time for pruning. I understand, that right when spring comes is probably not so good because of all the flowing sap. I'm also always a bit worried to do it in winter because I'm thinking the branches could dry out too much as there's no growth. I also heard, that it's healthy for the tree to let the first shoots of spring elongate, and then cut in early summer. This seems to be a good time. The only problem then is, that you can't see the branches too well because of all the leaves...

Yes, it would be ideal to do this work right after the leaves fall off in autumn, I find most branches survive after pruning in winter, especially in the greenhouse where there is little wind to dry them out.

I have found that repotting trees that are bleeding before pruning them stops the bleeding.
@eeeealmo
@eeeealmo 11 ай бұрын
I could be wrong but I was under the impression you specifically DONT prune in winter because with the tree being dormant it ISNT able to compartmentalize the wounds. That's why you prune in late spring or at leaf change because the tree is active and can begin the healing

I pruned my maples in late spring on someone's advice and they bled profusely and some barely grew that season. I tend to prune mine in autumn now as the leaves change. You're right winter pruning can promote infection but nigel will probably protect it.

The wounds can't be completely covered without active growth behind whem(up by trunk). So withiut growth the season not matter. In a cold(no vegetation) time bark and buds are still thickening and cambium actually will pack the cut. One Is my vision and dicussionable

JMs top my list of favorite species as a bonsai. They do well in my area of Aus, so I have a few on the go. I tend to follow the methods of Peter Adams - he does use some wire, but the trees tend to be closer to natural than sumo (his tridents, on the other hand . . . !) I am keen to see the root system on this one, as I like it as a twin trunk!

I have your same winter issues and bug issues with the JM up here in Alaska. And the price tags are comparable, plus shipping to get it up here. Very tough process. Xin seemed to have good growth with his. Appreciate you, as always, good sir.

Wow! I didn't know they were that expensive! I guess when I was at the Grand Ole Opry, I should have taken a few branches in addition to the seeds I collected. They were a pair of gorgeous "lace leaf?" maples. Unfortunately, none of the seeds sprouted.

If you bury the graft, the top should produce roots on its own from what I was taught. Just a thought.
