Japanese Maple 09A (Acer palmatum)

Formal upright

October 30, 2022. As I said I would do back in the spring, I’m starting a new page for this tree. There might have been a page for it earlier — at some point or another, but if there was, it’s been lost. 

To recap from the “Maple Forest” page: I got this tree from Mark; he had potted up a seedling in his yard but didn’t want to move it to Grants Way. I think I’ve had it for almost ten years, at least one of which it spent in the ground. That’s how it got the over-developed surface root that looks so bad. I used it for the center tree in the forest for a while, but that never did really look right. So in March this year I broke up the group and put this one back in a separate pot. I’ve got a lot of cleaning up to do, especially around the apex, but I’ve already gotten a start on that by letting the top grow out all year. I have hope for a better future for this tree.
