That makes me feel better! 😂 I have land too, but not the right climate to keep them in the ground.

Love it Sergio!! Such a beautiful composition. Shishigarhira is special, especially in spring. Some maple lovers don't seem to like it, but I don't think they have any.. lol. I didn't really understand the appeal until I got one. Now I have several.

Thanks! Yeah, I saw it when Maplestone updated their site. https://maplestoneornamentals.com/collections/japanese-maples/products/disco Squitty looks like another new one: https://maplestoneornamentals.com/collections/japanese-maples/products/squitty

It's beautiful! But I've never seen Shihigashira with spring color like that. How certain are you that it's Shihigashira?

Just waking up. :)

I'll bet he's mostly talking about the fine roots. It's the fine roots that really fuse well, but once your getting some primary root formation, that's where you might want to make sure nothing is too out of place. This channel has some great content on nebari formation:

Mine is from Conifer Kingdom. We'll have to see if they are even the same Akaji nishiki... 😂 I don't know if it's exactly the same as Seigen, but they are definitely similar. I'm still not entirely sure what the true Seigen looks like here in the States.

Mine are just starting to open up. Pic's coming soon! I had to have it after I read @clem 's thread. Here are a few more.

Don't ask me that... 😂 😂 😂 😂 I'm not quite to 100 yet. :rolleyes:

I should also add, that this has been an incredibly mild winter here, so everything is waking up earlier than normal.

I don't have Murakumo. Another one for the list..? lol The Peve Multicolor just came, so that's not a reflection of my climate. But the other maples are all kept in my garage over winter with temps usually between 30 to 40F. The bonsai shuffle begins when buds start breaking; then I'm giving...

I ordered a Peve Multicolor from Maplestone. And I blame you @andrewiles ! 😂 It's past the spring color, but these leaves are still pretty awesome.

First leaves are coming out on my Wilson's Pink Dwarf parent plant.
