每日吃瓜

It was suggested I buy a Maple from a garden center and turn it into a mame like the one in the pic. I think I may do this.

Got this Acer Palmatum. What do you all think of it? How much thicker does this need to get?

Btw, sorry about the angle.

About 10 times as thick at leaast.

I think this will be grafted on rootstock. Did you check the nebari & transition into the trunk?

To be honest.. I would for A Palmatum start with a regular "wild" variety. They are much stronger, can take a lot of abuse and grow very fast. Ideal to get a feeling for the species.
