Love following your progressions dude. I need to figure out how to have more success with layers and cuttings as I have had not a lot of success up to this point.

Jesus.. And I thought the kotohime maple was slow growing. Your thread makes it seem like its pretty quick.
I just obtained a couple of young ones, excited to see how it progresses this year.

Nice backbuding, and pretty dam fattening! Really you don't need to do any branch grafting in this cultivar. LOL
Thanks for sharing.

i haven't been taking summer cuttings, but if i was going to, I'd take them when you see the leaves are done hardening off.
as far as fertilization, im still using up a bag of peter's professional 20/20/20 i bought years ago.
in spring as new growth is hardening off i use Real Growers Recharge microbes/kelp/acids mix at 2 grams per gallon once a month till leaf fall.
last year i fed the peter's at 2g almost every week.
when i see the trees are going into storage mode, i use Jack's Hydro 0/12/26 at 2g.
when I'm through with the peter's I'll be using a combo of calcium nitrate and jacks 0/12/26 at around 1:2 grams. maybe 2:3

finished repotting and wiring up one year old cuttings.
the two extra large cuttings were fairly straight trunked, so i wired up the first year shoots for cuttings next spring with movement already baked in.

These are developing really quickly! Now I'm in the market for a kotohime.

I agree this thread definitely makes me want to get a Kotohime.
