We love Japanese maples! Show off some beauty spring foliage shots! (Does not have to be bonsai if you have stellar trees in landscape)

Amazing and beautiful pot

I apologize in advance for the photo-bombing but this is the best time of year if you have maple bonsai and I don't have grandchildren yet so I take lots of pics of the maples instead

Very nice

I know this qualifies me as a smart ass, but we did have a hard freeze last week.

No idea. It’s imported and I suspect it’s a named cultivar, but will never know for sure.

Still is impossible to find in US

PM sent - I've ship thousands to the USA and continue to do so

and here is the mandatory spring foliage picture for the thread: this time, it's NOMURA -- a cultivar I received from Japan this year and know very little about. It is cutting-grown, and I was told it's great for bonsai. I have no seen any mature bonsai created with this cultivar

My most recent A.p acquisition.
Not sure what cultivar this is. Judging from the stem, the closest that I came was A p Kashima. But the foliage points elsewhere.
