Every home should have a japanese maple tree planted in the yard!

Well I agree to that only in principle, because as beautiful as maple trees are when the leaves change color, I don’t like raking leaves. My solution to this problem was to buy a maple bonsai tree and have it growing on my patio. I can pick up the leaves from my bonsai maple tree in about a minute and a half, “perfect”.

The first bonsai tree that I purchase was the Japanese green maple bonsai, it was around 25 years old and 24″x25″x30″ with 6 inch diameter trunk, just like the one offered for sale and pictured below. It is a deciduous bonsai that was grown by bonsai boy. It came in a rectangle pot. It will grow palmate leaves with red spring color. A slow grower with small leaves and a very nice form.

My next bonsai is also going to be a japanese maple tree, except I am going to go all out and buy a older and bigger outdoor bonsai tree for my patio. My choice is going to be the monster maple tree which is a 40 year old bonsai. It has a 13 inch trunk and measures approximately 32″x26″40″.

Here is a picture, it has palmate green leaves with red fall color.

You can see it is much fuller than the other japanese  maple and looks like a mature tree. You may be thinking that you don’t like the outdoor varieties that loose their leaves in the winter. I thought that too so I display them along side my bonsai pine trees. In the winter months it is a very striking ornamental tree grouping. I have display my flowering bonsai inside my home because it is an indoor bonsai tree.

Many times you will see that a humidity tray is recommended many times, this is necessary for proper growth and care in dry climates and indoors where there is air conditioning.
