For centuries, the Japanese have cultivated maples as bonsai, with this purple-leaved form being particularly prized for its stunning looks and natural aptitude for bonsai work.
These established young bonsai starters arrive in shallow training trays, all set for you to start shaping. The Purple Dissectum Maple Acer palmatum var. dissectum ‘Atropurpureum’ offers excellent qualities for bonsai growing. Its compact nature and gentle growth rate make it manageable, whilst the intricate, finely-cut purple leaves produce a wonderful miniature tree appearance.
Spring brings rich purple foliage that maintains its colour well throughout summer, particularly when placed in bright conditions. Come autumn, they deliver a spectacular display, shifting to bright crimson before dropping. The graceful branch structure remains appealing even through winter months.
These young specimens take well to training methods, suiting newcomers and seasoned bonsai growers alike. The pliable young shoots wire and shape readily, and the tree responds positively to pruning, letting you create your preferred form gradually.
Though they look fragile, these maples prove quite hardy with proper care. They flourish in British conditions, though benefit from protection against strong winds. The shallow bonsai container helps keep the restricted root system essential for good bonsai growth.
Keeping your maple bonsai outdoors in a sheltered spot will help it develop natural seasonal rhythms. Regular watering and occasional feeding during the growing season will keep it healthy and vigorous.
