Acer shirasawanum unnamed seedling

Is it due for a Summer prune Keith ? Becoming quite a monster !! And they say seedlings don't do well on their own roots...Lol

 

Derek I started an enormous air layer on the left side.. I will try to get a picture of that.
2+ inch caliper branch being layered. Hopefully it will take.

 

That will be amazing Keith, can't wait to see the photos.

Now that is some air layering Keith !!! Please do take a photo and post when you remove the bucket. Hopefully you will have some amazing roots.

 

I put flagstone on top to keep soil from washing out with rain.
I moved one this weekend and found roots

 

Removed and planted out the layer today 08/25/2022



I am planning on getting watering timer to mist foliage regularly
If it survives it will be my proudest horticultural accomplishment :)

So many unnamed seedlings really stand out. Who really needs cultivars!!
Wonderful maple K

 

2023 seeds germinated. First successful progeny from this tree.
