Design Time
This little Field Maple is an early starter this year. Its really roaring ahead.
But what to do with it?
I though i would try out an informal upright style. Ive even found a nice little pot for it. Now all i need is a quiet decade to grow it - well 3 years and it will look pretty. I enjoy growing the plants from seedlings or nursery material - its a mode deliberate process of design and growing. Unlike finding the shape in a yamadori you have to grow the plant into a vision in your head.
Il repot it later into a batch of my homemade soil. Need a nice big batch of soil as im going to try to start off some acorns as well.
I though back to this little fig i grew many years ( 2002 ) ago for inspiration. The poor fig had been through some hard times and wasn't in great shape - but i was very fond of it.
