Acer palmatum Kiyohime Winter Show 2013 Raffle Prize

Acer palmatum Kiyohime Winter Show 2013 Raffle Prize

It was won by one of our own Swindon Bonsai Club Members and he has been working hard to improve the crown shape and development through guying down the branches and through regular pruning has improved the crown development significantly already within the past 12 months. Here are a few images of the tree whilst it was being pruned at the April workshop evening.
