Have you ever tried sugar maple, Iris?

No. I have seen enough pathetic attempts not to. Likewise silver maple and
Norway maple. The red maple I collected in 1991 is coming along very slowly, but
it is not yet ready to show its face in public. It is very hard to get it to
start new branches. I may have to do some thread grafting.
With so many tried and true species for bonsai, why bother with something
futile?
