Bonsai trees are natural trees just stunted in size, would you grow a tree under a lamp? It might work but my view is let it see the real sun now and again, especially since maples are usually an outdoor bonsai tree species. Let me know how you get on if you do it.

I bought a Juniper bonsai from a swap meet a few weeks back. After looking around the internet, I think I bought tree branch masquerading as a bonsai! Oh well. I have a question...would a Japanese Maple respond well to a grow light instead of full sunlight? Interesting. I bought a Juniper bonsai from a swap meet a few weeks back.

Let them grow out untill they reach a trunk thickness equal to what you want it to end up. After this, chop it at 1/3 the height you want the tree...say you want it 24" tall, chop it at 8" from the soil...repeat this process of growing it out to create a smooth taper up the tree then you can begin branch structure...the more time you spend working these trees, the more you can sell them for...a young JM may fetch $20, but grow it like I mentioned in about 10 years you can be selling these for $400 at least Crane, you will need to go through a series of (grow, chop, grow, chop) to create a decent bonsai.

I'd like to find some photos of step-by-step for training and shaping of very young Japanese maple bonsai. I have the book by Peter Adams and it is a great resource. However, it doesn't show much EARLY training and shaping. Can anyone here recommend a resource? Thank you! Hi, I’m a gardener near Seattle, Washington, USA

However, since roses are thorny and delicate by nature, this type of garden is one of the most challenging to design and to maintain. A rose garden is one of the most beautiful types of gardens.
