This is what I was referring to.
It looks like theses are freshly rooted cuttings... is that how you did this one? View attachment 553924

Those are seedlings

Those are seedlings

Quite a bit of ramification on that first one. Very cool. Two of my first three (I think I mentioned I'm just now starting the hobby) are silver maples. Everyone says they won't bonsai well but they're freaking indestructible and I'm having a ton of with them.

Anyway, thanks for showing them off to me.

This one’s leaves shriveled up and browned overnight .. I think I need to keep it dryer.. hopefully the trees don’t die cause scratch test still shows green

The bases of the trunks don't look good. Is that some kind of fungal infection?

No not fungus they’re barking up

The sudden turning to black leaf is never a good sign for JM. I hope they make it.

Yeah me too .. not sure what it is .. as another grouping of maples in a bit deeper pot still shallow is fine .. I think it roots are too confined .. I hope they make it too. The buds are still red
