what do you think

sankastaff

I bought this japanese maple last weekend at a show the vendor told me it was 12 years old .The guy seemed to have good records of all his trees he had but I dpnt know he may have been pulling my leg what do you think? The tree is 9 1/2 " tall including the pot. Let me know what you think and how would be best to display this tree.

Hi sankastaff

Actual calendar age doesn't matter much, really, but it is a bit young looking for a tree of 12 years. If you hadn't told me I would have guessed 5. The bark and ramification would give some clue as to the actual age, more so than the height, and its a little hard to assess that in a small photo on the internet, but it looks a little green to me, and usually by 10 years' time you'd have grey bark.

To respond to your question for display - It might be good to see another side of your tree for other possibilities.
