Zube -

I love Japanese maples as bonsai. I do have a Acer palmatum 'Arakawa' that is about 30 years old, although I have only had it for one year.

I have been successful in striking a few cuttings from the arakawa. As they grow, I plan to put movement into them early. I have noticed many arakawa with long straight sections that make them unattractive to me.

I have not treated it any differently from my other maples and it is doing well. In fact, it is doing better than my tridents. (My tridents are already experiencing a touch of leaf burn.)
