Japanese Maple Autumn Colour

Autumn Japanese Maple

Big and small

I have quite a few self sown seedlings cropping up around my garden due to a full size birch next door and a full size field maple in my garden. Over the past few years I’ve been growing/training some of these as future bonsai. It’s fascinating to see the size difference between full size leaves and the leaves of bonsai material grown in shallow pots.
