The 5 year journey of a Maple Bonsai

In our longest running YouTube project we share the progression of a Maple Bonsai (Acer palmatum) from nursery stock to Bonsai. We share how to thicken a trunk using sacrificial branches and apex, and how to prune, wire and repot.

The video you are watching now shows years 3, 4 and 5.
