Its small leaves make it look like a real tree. A difficult choice, Cotoneaster and Chinese elm being also tempting. Acer just wins because its natural style and size is bonsai. Can't stop now just one more tree. The tree is very fast growing and responds well to regular pruning.
Ramification is formed quickly.
It can be defoliated upto four times during the growing season. The leaves reduce very well. The foliage in Autumn turns a beautiful yellow. Winter is the ideal time to enjoy the tree without its foliage. I like it because it changes colour with the seasons.
