In early August of 2011 I came across this small Acer palmatum at
Lee verhorevoort's bonsai nursery, which I can highly recommend to anyone going that way as he has a wide selection of imported Japanese trees which are at bargain prices, and decided to buy it for a mere £29. After some maintenance and light pruning to get some foliage lower down on the trunk the tree was beginning to take shape. I then decided on a new front, here are some images of the tree when I bought it.

Tree before, during and after repot into it's new angle on the 20th February 2012. It was repotted into a bigger pot to allow for more growth.
