Bright Autumn Colour

This 'root-over-rock' trident maple (pictured on the left) never disapoints to put on a nice Autumn show.  This maple, although displaying some nice Autumn colour, needs a lot of work to increase the number of buds so that we can reduce the overall leaf size.

The image to the right is from Mr. Takeyama’s trident maples at the Fuyo-en Bonsai Garden in Omiya Village.  After seeing these bonsai in 2016 I realised just how much more work we have to do, at the gallery, to really bring our bonsai to an acceptable level.

The work continues.......
