Gift from Trygve (Norway maple no 2)
This new tree was picked up from the ground on the exact same day as my youngest daughter was born and is a gift from a friend of mine.The exact same friend that gave me a IKEA bonsai as birthday present five years ago and thereby inspired my interest for Bonsai. Pot by Wallsall studios. (also included in the gift)
Atropurpureum repotted
This maple is possible the weakest tree in my collection, this year another stem had to be pruned away because of dieback. Last resort for this fake red maple. Pretty bound to its pot, a lot of roots where pruned away and the tree were also barerooted to bring possible new vigour.
