Although the title is about the cultivation of triangular maple, this process is suitable for most deciduous tree species bonsai.

Let's first take a look at how the surface roots are cultivated. If you are sowing seedlings, you need to flatten the bottom of the root first. If it is a cuttage or striping seedling, comb and smooth the root system. Then find a hard object of the right size (wood, stone) underneath, trim the excessively long roots, cultivate them in the field, and you can get the surface roots that are tiled around. If there is a lack of roots in some directions, the roots can be filled by grafting. As shown in the picture below.

The root of grafting looks natural after a long time.

Next, let's take a look at the first shape, which is a very common triangular maple, a sketch bonsai. It is necessary to shape the trunk at the seedling stage, not necessarily in the picture. Then the trunk is raised with sacrificial branches, while the styling branches need to be stored and pruned every year to keep them in shape. The process will be long, and the nutrient branches may need to be replaced in the middle. After the trunk grows to the right size, the victim branch can be removed and its overall shape can be finely adjusted. In this way, it can be done in about 10 years.

Almost the finished product is like this.

The second shape is the curved dry style of maple.

It is also starting from the seedlings, raising and shaping with sacrificial branches, pruning more branches, and finally forming a suitable top. This process also takes about 10 years.
