Deshojo Acer Bonsai Tree
The Acer Deshojo Bonsai Tree is often described as the hardiest of the Palmatum group which makes it ideally suited to bonsai. They will tolerate extremes of temperatures well and we know of many nurseries that will leave their Deshojo Bonsai trees outside throughout winter.
The Deshojo Acer Palmatum featured in this video is 25-30 years old and has been grown from seed in the UK. It has just been re-potted into a new rectangular pot. The pot is quite deep and if a buyer preferred they could train this tree to live in a shallower pot. A lot of Acer bonsai trees are trained in shallow oval pots, these do look fantastic and we have a few at the moment. The only downside to shallow pots is that they dry out very quickly and you need to stay on top of the watering without fail. It is for this reason that we opted for a slightly deeper pot...to allow the roots to stay damp for longer on hot summer days.
We are currently feeding this tree every few weeks during the growing season. We feed the tree a combination of Biogold block feed and a liquid seaweed fertilizer. This tree is doing very well which is no surprise since they are very hardy trees. This is a large tree and the overall balance is very good. We currently have two Deshojo trees and these look best when shown together. The nebari on this one has still got some way to go but will develop nicely over the coming years.
As we have just repotted this tree we will not look to repot it for another few years. If we get the time we may put a moss layer on top of the soil to show this tree in its full glory. If we can get the moss layer going this summer, then hopefully by next spring the tree will look perfect when coming into leaf and showing off its fire red leaves.
Deshojo bonsai trees are very popular because of the fire red leaf display in spring, and when the sun hits these trees in spring all the leaves look like they are lighting up fire red. We will be very sad to see this tree go, but as a business we have to say goodbye to some of our favorite trees.
We know of a particular seller, a very large seller in fact who hates to let his trees go because he becomes very attached to them. As you walk around with him asking the price of a particular tree he will pull a sad face and say that the tree is not for sale because he couldn't bear to let it go. Lovely guy by the way.
We hope you enjoy the video and thanks for visiting
Kind regards
