Spring Deshojo

One of my deshojo maples showing it's lovely spring color.

Needs to be pruned back. Still working on ramification. Possibly some root work too. Just have to find the time.

Very envious as we can't grow them successfully down here. It gets way too hot for them here. __________________ Bonsai Northwest Inc, Melbourne, Australia Bonsai Flora Nursery in Yarraville, Melbourne

Perhaps some entrepeneur could rent old warehouse space in a meat packing district to allow for wintering deciduous species. I have heard of such a thing in Florida USA. A new business perhaps? __________________ Have some time to kill? Check out my blog: http://spotted-dog-bonsai.blogspot.com/

I have an Acer Palmatum Atropurpureum in trainning and Lisbon is definately a zone 10 with Summer temps in the 35ºC sometimes rising to 40ºC. Larger leaves do dry up and curl but if you keep it in partial shade they do OK. I've met a guy who successfully keeps them in full sun exposure until late May for maximum growth.
Is deshojo a totally diferent animal?

It just would not cope. __________________ Bonsai Northwest Inc, Melbourne, Australia Bonsai Flora Nursery in Yarraville, Melbourne
