Another great post from Jonas at Bonsai Tonight
This post goes through a number techniques to consider when grafting new roots onto a Japanese Maple, work we can all get into in a few months time...

Re: Japanese maple grafting.
Excellent demo Scott. Thanks for digging it up and taking the time to post it. I will give it a crack next spring.

Re: Japanese maple grafting.
No worries.
Last year I dug two 1991 Japanese maples from the field and removed most of the large branches. The roots were good but grafting will definitely improve them, so i'll be doing both some branch grafting and root grafting this spring too.
Make sure you post the results.
