Share Your MAPLE LITERATIS

Closest i've got to a literati maple although doesn't really fit the bill. I've grown this one from seed and it's been fun. For the last two seasons i've debated layering off the top 3 or 4 inches and then chopping to just about the lower set of branches. for whatever reason i haven't done it. I kind of enjoy the long taperless trunk but the wiggle is all in the first few inches and it's begging to be chopped.

definitely. Why is it still there? It really ruins the thread as I am now just getting into it.

I get it. It bugs me when people ignore thread rules. However, this isn't the place to be a ruthless editor. Posts don't get deleted unless they're beyond the bounds of decency. It's just a few pictures of literati conifers. You'd do well to work for a publishing company where you can spend your days making writers cry by pointing out all their mistakes, and I mean that in all sincerity. There's good work for ruthless editors.

Here is an acer rubrum that I like to think of as a twin trunk literati. I planted 2 seedlings as close as I could a couple years ago. It's got a ways to go, especially the smaller tree, but I like it. It might get a smaller, shallower pot next year.

I messed up and let wire bite in on the trunks, but I think the scars will be gone in an another 2 or 3 years.
