Show your 2024 maple colors!

[19Mateo83]

It’s getting the season for all of our maples to start showing off their spring colors, post your photos and show them off!

Here’s a kotohime and its twin sister

And a kiyohime starting to show off after her repotting.

 

[19Mateo83]

This Katsura is really starting to show off

As is this mikawa yatsubusa

And this tiny mikawa yatsubusa “mystic mikawa”

Gotta love that lime green a shishigashira puts off in spring

And this tiny “October glory” air layer is in flower strutting its stuff

My Koto hime maple . Missed my repotting window this year . I have learned to trim back all the branches at the same time on this maple or they die off . It maybe just this one as it isn't grafted it was a cutting . Love the coloration though .

Thank you! I think it’s a seedling from Katsura but not sure. I saw it at a local nursery and bought it a few years ago. I plan to take cutting on it this year

Thank you! I think it’s going to be a great bonsai in the future. I put a wire above the original root system so now this is the root system I’m working with on this seedling
