Maple Bonsai inspiration

In this video we share some of the most beautiful Maple Bonsai trees, held at private collections or seen at Bonsai exhibitions across the world. Perhaps the most valued species is the Japanese Maple, the Acer Palmatum.

Which type is the one with very white tree trunk? Fascinating

[@acemanhomer1]

I like the music playing. Also, bonsai trees are beautiful. I wonder sometimes if bonsai is an 'on purpose cruelty'...but... I mean in ways it could be considered as such; however, bare with me. Seeing life for what it seems to be in a particular aspect, and if hopefully it's true there is no self realization or deep consciousness to the level we have, in plants, then perhaps showcasing what a lifeform is capable of in seemingly desperate situations is awe inspiring. To feel a relation to our own lives, to think, I CAN MAKE IT... Something deeply resonating I can't ignore when I think about that. So, again I just hope they don't have consciousness to our degree haha, but if they do, then hopefully they don't feel bad about being a well cared for beautiful looking bonsai, that I suppose still offers us mutual air exchange either way.. peAce.

[@lewisnorden3744]

In my opinion bonsai is only cruel if you don't take proper care of the tree. Healthy bonsai can outlive their natural growing counterparts by hundreds of years.

[@VictorBottino]

What's the name of the Acer at 1.50 minutes?

[@cbrusharmy]

Good gods, how magnificent! Which species (and variety, if known) was that at 3:00?

[@motherlandbot6837]

Acer palmatum 'Deshojo' or A. palmatum 'Shindeshojo'. The two are very similar.
These two cultivars show intensely red small foliage when they flush out in spring. This changes to a dull darker green (with red and pink areas on close examination) after 1.5 - 3 weeks of spring color (less in hot weather). The leaves remain medium small, unlike some other maples shown. They turn brilliant crimson in the fall. Both cultivars have a poor natural growth habit for bonsai, and require careful and skilled pruning and training during their spring and midsummer growth flushes to produce top quality specimen bonsai.
"Deshojo" is a red faced Orang Utan who is a character in Kabuki drama. "Shindeshojo" = new Deshojo.

[@cbrusharmy]

@@motherlandbot6837 That is very helpful, thank you. I'm quite new to this, but am throwing myself in. I wasn't sure the white bark was common? If I find one, however, I will find it hard to resist!

[@motherlandbot6837]

@@cbrusharmy You're welcome. The white bark in 'Deshojo' and 'Shindeshojo' develops with age. In younger trees, It's medium to light green. Both cultivars need to be propagated by grafting (they are nearly impossible to root as cuttings), and this means that you will need to deal with an ugly graft scar. (The plant you mentioned seems to have a trace of this at its' base.)
The large red leaved palmatums widely grown as garden and street trees in Canada, the US, and Western Europe are often 'Bloodgood', a Dutch selection from the 18th century. This has darker red spring leaves than 'Deshojo' and 'Shindeshojo', and holds the red color very well in the summer (they turn dark purple red to maroon, and show some greenish bronze tones on heavily shaded interior leaves) and turns intense red in the fall. The bark is a rather dirty looking medium to blackish gray. 'Bloodgood' is fairly easy to root from cuttings, but most that I see here in the US are grafts. It actually has a much better growth habit for bonsai than 'Deshojo' and 'Shindeshojo', but because of It's large leaves and potentially large size (10 to 15 feet after 30 to 50 years; young trees can grow more than 10"-15" per year), it is suitable only for large bonsai.
The maple at 2:15 is very similar to 'Bloodgood, and may be that cultivar, but seems to have slightly more narrowly pointed leaves and paler bark.

[@cbrusharmy]

@@motherlandbot6837 I see I have some homework to do. :)

[@davidrankin8427]

@@motherlandbot6837 Thanks. And what about the red one at 1.45? Same species or changing colour in autumn/fall?

[@briann1737]

amazing acers! .20 WOW. can you tell me what cultivar is @ 4.55 Thank you

[@motherlandbot6837]

The leaves look like those of A. palmatum 'Okushimo', but I need a closer view to be sure. 'Okushimo' has especially rich dark green (much nicer than the ugly bronze or dark olive tones of many red leaf seedlings during the summer), and very fine textured leaves from late spring to early autumn. The edges of the fully expanded leaves roll upwards, enhancing the fine texture, and the leaves are very uniformly horizontal to slightly ascending (compare them with most of the other maples here, which generally have slightly pendant irregularly oriented foliage). Early spring foliage is pale green with pink to red edging and droops. Autumn color is rich gold to orange gold.
Okushimo is a very old variety that dates back to at least the 18th century. It has a much more upright vase shaped habit (like that of a Trident Maple [Acer buergerianum]) than most palmatums; which usually have horizontally tiered branches in a mounded overall effect. You can see that this tree's branchlets tend to ascend even though the main branches are trained horizontally. The very pale bark is present only on very old trees.

[@vrankyrule]

Why the bonsai shown have soo much small leaves i also have the japenese bonsai but the leaves are bigger??...is it because of potting ??

[@zer0bankoe]

Maybe you have the Acer Palmatum “Osakazuki”, very nice but leaves stay big most of the times.

I've got a question I would like awser if possible I got a young Japanese maple from a shop Tesco's and I don't no how long its was inside for or anything a week or so ago and I cut its back to turn it into a bonsai and yes I no I shouldn't in spring new shoots are growing but all the old leafs are to thin and getting crinkle and a bit red in the wind I also put some feed and giving it water and i don't no what to do about the leafs i was going to take them all off because there been damaged but I don't no how the tree would react thanks for helping.

Hi there - perhaps start reading about maple care first and then feel free to ask around on our online forum? See: www.bonsaiempire.com/tree-species/maple
