Hi Jon
I just bought one atropurpureum ( in container ) this spring (and put on rock)
and I was wondering as apparently until now, I never run on such atropurpureum
bonsai .. the leaves are so and so
I sow few days later another red one in( mine has a hint of green behind the
leaves and is supposed to switch color during summer ) the Botanic Garden just
planted few weeks ago in the ground with similar leaves but better red I
men the same in both sides , the red is a little bit more luminous than my
atropurpureum .. the point is that the tag just say "japanese maple " not much help
...
By the different red leaves trees I have seen in the park with "small "leaves
I guess it could be possible reduce leaves a little bit more hence feasable as
bonsai
