Acer buergerianum on the rocks
Here is my new Acer b.
I would appreciate input in how to bring this tree a level up on the way to bonsai, also potsugestions are welcome.
Kind regards from the cold Denmark

Re: Acer buergerianum on the rocks
Mmmm. I wonder if, because of that chop up front, this should be the back. Or maybe the tree should be turned a BIT more so that cut-off stump isn't so prominent?
It would be nice to see the other side, anyway.

Hi Jim,
the other side is dull, about the cut, its more eminent in the picture than in reallife.

Re: Acer buergerianum on the rocks
are the wrinkles in the roots natural or caused by wiring to the rock-if so can they be removed or grown out-do you have plans to carve out that trunk chop

Re: Acer buergerianum on the rocks
The scars on the roots is from wire, they wil disapear with growth, the topscar also disapears because the branch that is close to, wil be allowed to grow much longer for a couple of years. The branch gets thicker and the scar wil be gone due to new and more powerful bark on that spot.

Re: Acer buergerianum on the rocks
I still think you might want to do some carving on that stump. It's hard to imagine that it's less noticeable in 3-D than in 2-D.
Gosh, maybe we should use that 3-D bonsai thingy (see announcements).

Sorry, Peter, that scar on the trunk will never look right. In fact, it may look worse as the cambium covers it.landerloos wrote:Hi Jim,

The bulge will increase in size. Another possible problem could be the appearance of rot. If that happens, the whole tree could become infected. If you decide to remove the stump, chisel it down to the surrounding surface,
and apply a wood rot control.

Hi Marty,
the chop is closed with cambium, there is no wound or hole.

I forgot to mention that the tree is about 22 cm high, the end hight will be a couple of cm smaller.

Re: Acer buergerianum on the rocks
While uro is not as common on acers, I'd suggest that for this case. In fact I'd hollow out that stump fairly deep,
at an angle that keeps it from collecting water, and then apply protection. I think it would add greatly to the appearance of age, and the gnarliness. Look at the first tree here for an example:

I will take it in concideration, thanks for the tip, lovely pictures you linked here.
