Arrives
Please note that all of these initial photos were taken as they appeared when they were unloaded from the freight truck in early November 2022 from Iseli Nursery in Oregon. For deciduous trees such as Maples, they were already starting their leaf color changes where they are transitioning to drop them to go into dormancy for the winter. When the new replacement leaves appear next spring, we will take new photos to better show each species great beauty!
Please be aware that the actual tree that you receive during the winter time may have no leaves during its dormancy period! A bare tree look is to be expected when placing orders at this time!
Species: Acer palmatum 'Sharp's Pygmy'
Estimated Age: About 9-10 Years
Trunk Size: About 0.50 - 0.75 Inch
Lighting: Mostly Sun to Partial Shade
Type: Deciduous
Difficulty: Medium
Japanese Maples are a traditional favorite for bonsai lovers all over the world. With their dynamic visual differences every season, it's always something new to look at with Maples. Especially their famous colorful transitions as they shed their soft foliage during the fall months. They do that to get ready to go dormant for the winter since all Maples are deciduous trees.
'Sharp's Pygmy' is an amazing choice for those that want a compact little leaf Maple bonsai! It's one of the smallest Acer palmatum cultivars found. This makes for an outstanding choice for use as bonsai because it naturally likes to grow into a bonsai-like appearance! Not much pruning or wire training to achieve the look! Jimmy Sharp first noticed it as a chance seedling in the early 1980s and propagated it at his nursery in Oregon.
The small five-lobed leaves have narrow "finger-like" lobes where they are very deeply divided for a showy appearance. The edges have a coarse broad teeth with a dark red color. The leaf lobe tips tend to curve down for a nice overall foliage texture. The short, slender leaf stalks and shoots are green. The green leaves turns into a deep orange to scarlet red in the fall, as seen in our November 2022 example photos of when we first brought them into our nursery from Iseli Nursery in Oregon.
Adopt a gentle hand when pruning after all of its foliage has fully developed during the warm summer months due to its very slow growth pattern. It can a very long time develop good ramification. But this is great for those that wish to maintain a small sized Maple bonsai. This pre-bonsai can easily be trained into an informal upright bonsai style. Please note that all pre-bonsai trees will come in a plastic nursery growing pot.
For Deciduous Trees: Please note that during the mid to late fall months, deciduous trees will lose all of their leaves/foliage to go into dormancy for winter. They will have barren branches and will be extra sensitive to shipping stress during mid-fall and all of winter. If we try to ship them during this dormancy time, it is considered extremely high risk. We reserve the right to refuse to take orders for these trees during their dormancy period from around October to February.
