Acer Palmatum
Japanese Maple (Acer Palmatum) by Walter Pall. Age: 50 years, height 2’2” / 65 cm
Originally from China and Japan, the Acer Palmatum (Japanese maple
Bonsai) is one of the most popular Bonsai species. It has distinctive
opposing five pointed leaves. The bark of young trees is usually green or
light-red and changes into brown or light gray with age. Protect the thin
leaves from too much sunlight, as they easily burn.
