I have 4 Silver Maples that I have been growing for less than a year from seedling and wanted to make them bonsai. Does anyone have any experience with Silver Maples?
Thanks!
I have a silver maple in the front yard planted as a mother's birthday present in 1986. I have been trying to propagate it for years to give the boys a memory of home. I can't get anything to work.
I had twelve seedlings and they did fine until one day they all died. I have no idea why. Cuttings don't survive and air layers don't root. I think I should have left the seedlings in the ground another year, but that is a guess.
Good luck.
