You will be surprised at how fast they grow. I have never seen a bonsai maple; I look forward to seeing how you create yours.annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01668006270534204954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-165629761858656879.post-53451212881137495272011-06-09T10:42:22.434+09:002011-06-09T10:42:22.434+09:00I grew up with a big Maple tree right infront of m...I grew up with a big Maple tree right infront of my house.

Most unusual for the shore of Lake Michigan. Since it is way to hot to work in the Gardens at Waters East, it is a good time to catch up on your Blog and other Blogs I am following. Maple trees are absolutely beautiful here in the Fall. Lots of tourists come from mile to drive and hike the forest in Wisconsin in the month of October to see the reds, oranges, yellows of the Maples. Like you, I can never throw away any of the plants I divide thought I am running out of space! I do give away bushels of them each Summer and still have more than enough. Glad though I can give them to "happy" new homes!

We have just starting clearing a bed that is sheltered from the wind but is quite shady and understand that some acers don't mind so we may plant one yet!<br /><br />I think your plants are already a bit big for bonsais :)Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-165629761858656879.post-74590479736611451922011-06-07T08:52:36.876+09:002011-06-07T08:52:36.876+09:00can't wait to see the maple trees in Autumn!

Despite not having enough space, I end up trying to save every one. Japanese maples are wonderful, my mom really wants one of the feathery-leaved ones to plant in the center of my parents' front lawn. Unfortunately they are extremely expensive around here.Nichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07291223943168030684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-165629761858656879.post-24304685120391573842011-06-07T03:04:58.464+09:002011-06-07T03:04:58.464+09:00"Procrastination is the thief of time" t..."Procrastination is the thief of time" they say. It affects us all on occasion! Hope the Maples survive OK. My only example (a tiny one about 30cm tall) died during the severe Winter weather. Must get round to replacing it.
