Here is some rough video of a Kiyo Hime Japanese Maple that I lifted from my landscape this past Spring and placed into a bonsai container. This tree was a gift for my garden from my good friend Ken. He struck it from a cutting about 12 years ago. It have been in my possession for about 4 years now. It was developing so nicely in the ground that I asked Ken for permission to move into a container. I will post more pics soon.

Trident Maple Ground #1
Once again this tree was struck as cutting by Ken Duncan. I received it from him about 4 years ago. It spent a couple years in a pot until I could create a good bed in the ground. Then I pretty much just let it grow for two years. This past spring I dug it, worked the roots and the branches and replanted it. This past season I have pruned it many times trying to begin the process of ramification. It has responded very well and I am excited about digging it again in the spring of 2009. I will decide then whether to go one more year in the ground or to get into a pot. I have purposely left this tree very tall. I could certainly chop it lower but I have a different image in mind for this tree. I will try to remember to add a couple inspiration pics to the cue.
Katsura Japanese Maple
This tree is one of my oldest trees. I believe that it was purchased from Tom Dimig in !992 or 93. I understand that it was an import from Korea and that Bill V. was the importer. This tree has amazing color on the new spring foliage.
Trident Maple #1
Ken Duncan gave me this tree around 1995. He had struck it as a cutting and then grown it in the ground over a tile.
Korean Hornbeam
This tree was originally acquired from Roy Franklin in a trade...about 2000. The pot was a gift from my boss at work in 2006.
