Acer palmatum Kamagata
A very dwarf variety. Very delicate, brittle and slow. (I won't be doing any more of these!)
Anyway, it's less than 25cm high and a layer from 20 years ago.

One for the autumn thread!
Lovely tree. Always good to see some lesser used varieties!

One of the fabulous things about growing bonsai is as you get old and decrepit your trees get old and beautiful

Re: Acer palmatum Kamagata
Awesome colour, great leaf shape and getting some nice bark. Would love to see it after leaf drop.

Re: Acer palmatum Kamagata
How do these do on their own roots Treeman?
Theres a little hidden nursery out past my neck of the woods which are selling these in large cloth bags for around $180. The trees are pretty much what i'd expect for a full sized dwarf Japanese Maple (albeit grafted) but could make for some great layering stock.

Surprisingly quite well. If the graft is done well you might be able to use them as is.Truth wrote:How do these do on their own roots Treeman?

Re: Acer palmatum Kamagata
Great news, i've heard they're decently sun tolerant compared to other maple cultivars too, which is surprising given it's very soft and feathery foliage. I'll have to really think picking one up now.treeman wrote:Surprisingly quite well.

Re: Acer palmatum Kamagata
Hey Mr. Truth... Treemans maple is absolutely stunning. I'd love to plant one in the ground & have as a feature tree in my garden. Wondering if you wouldn't mind helping out. If you could send me a pm that would be great.Truth wrote:How do these do on their own roots Treeman?
