Kiyohime MAPLE
?
WHAT?!....U GOT ONE OF THEM
?
no way!!!!!!!!!!!!!
talk about rare aftifacts!, rarest of the rare!
u got a picture you can show us?.....apparently those maples have a natrual broom shape......extremely slow growing...
and very very very delicate....
they are even more easily scrortched by sun than any other maple.
less able to defend themselves against insect or fungal attacks, and if not regularly thinned out, it can cause die back due to lack of air/ventilation!
and it said that these trees are unlike other maples or other trees.....the energy of growth is channeld vertically HORIZONTALLY rather than vertically like other trees, causing a low spreading shrub....other trees concentrate on growing taller and rapid APEX...
this particular cultivar...apparently ONLY the side branches must be pruned, any attempt to prune the few upward-growing branches would result in the total loss of the central part of the crown, and would ruin the bonsai forever.......
amazing trees............
do show us!!!
