Almost everyone has heard of the Maple Tree - and a Japanese Bonsai alternative is just as beautiful as the full sized version. However, unlike many other bonsai varieties, this particular tree requires more effort and more supervision to ensure that it succeeds and grows throughout the year. First of all, it should be said that yes - just as the Maple Tree looses its leaves in winter - the Red Maple Bonsai does exactly the same thing. Therefore, potting and pruning should be done in spring, before the regrowth puts stress on the plant.

If it isn't you will find that you need to water the plant excessively just to keep it alive. The implications of this also transfers to bonsai Fertilizers use - and means that you must use organic fertilizer instead of inorganic alternatives. Something else you need to keep in mind is the extensive root structure that Red Maple bonsai's have. Think of the plant just like an iceberg. What you see on top is only a fraction of the entire structure. Therefore - it may be the case that even though the Red Maple bonsai has the same dimensions as many other bonsai trees - the pot you put it in may have to be the largest out of your entire bonsai garden.

Whilst this may be a drawback for some people - there is a bonus. The Red Maple Bonsai can take on a bonsai design which is as bizarre as you could imagine. With wiring, styling and the use of appropriate bonsai tools, you can create an endless number of effects with this variety of bonsai tree - and this is certainly a factor which will attract even the most discerning bonsai gardener to the species.
