We barely encounter Acer palmatum dissectum trained as bonsai. They have a bad reputation because they do not respond well to partial defoliation because of their finely dissected leaves. This translates into longer development time than regular Acer palmatum. Notwithstanding that it will take me twice the time to achieve my goals, I persist with this Japanese maple of the ‘Tamukeyama’ variety purchased in 2014 in a renovation center.
I am really excited by this nebari after the third root work iteration.
