Spring Pojects Potting Up-- Maple

by Michael Rusnak

This season due to the corona virus, and our club not actually meeting  I'll be periodically posting some of the projects club members are working on so that we can all share in each others projects, the excitement and energy that the trees bring. In other words virtually we can share some of what bonsai has to offer.

Amur Maples

Last year our club dug up more than 30 amur maples from a hedge row that was in front of the building where we were meeting.  These 50 year old trees all had thick trunks with lots of hollow and movement.

Several of the trees were healed in the ground to recover at one member's home.  This past weekend several of the maples were put in training pots.  Emmet and Randy shared the pictures below.  They report lots of healthy root, and the maples are already pushing out. It should be a good year of development.
