I had a large, weeping cut leaf Maple that I thought had completely died. I cut the top off and left a stump with plans of digging it up but was too busy the last couple years to do it. Much to my surprise, it sprouted side branches like crazy. I wonder now if this could be salvaged as a bonsai. I have to dig the tree up anyway, so what do I have to lose?
What should I do?
It will be spring in the next month or so, and I have been trying to find as much info as I can about salvaging this tree. Thank you very much for your time.
(there are no clubs close to me so this isn't an option).
