Thanks Milky and mookins

I've never heard of a Tatarian maple (Acer tataricum) so I've just had a gander on google. Nice tree!
If you want to take a shortcut growing your maple as a bonsai, grow it in the ground for two or three years before transferring to a pot. Doing this will help to thicken the trunk of the tree. Don't prune it heavily during this time.

Ooh right thanks for that will get him planted today then...very excited am hoping this will entice hubby into the garden...
oh and thanks for the spelling hehe

thats a lovely bonsai!!

Thanx Ibrahim.

The odd shaped thing next to the pot is a carpet of lichen that was growing on the surface of the pots soil.
Proves there's no polution as lichen will only grow in clean air.
