full moon maple

I’m still deciding on a front for this beautiful thing, but I enjoy full moon maples the most, and it’s going to end up being a larger sided bonsai, so I’m loving it’s big full leaves and felt like sharing as it progresses. This is my second ever tree. The first picture is me deciding that...

This is the first attempt I made at cold stratification. After a long wait I'm hoping this germinated seed will make it. Ironically, last week, I saw a Yellow Moon Maple while visiting the garden at UNC Charlotte. I ordered the seeds from Sheffields many months back in the middle of winter.
