Tree Details Species: Acer palmatum ‘Deshojo’ Common Name: Deshojo Japanese Maple Size: 50cm x 45cm Pot: Chinese glazed bonsai pot Repotted: Early 2026 Type: Outdoor deciduous bonsai Features: Brilliant crimson spring foliage, elegant branching and seasonal autumn colour Position: Outdoors, with protection from intense summer sun and strong winds Experience Level: Suitable for enthusiasts with some bonsai experience Deshojo Japanese Maple Bonsai Care The Deshojo Japanese Maple is an outdoor deciduous bonsai that thrives in a bright, sheltered position. While it benefits from good natural light, protection from intense afternoon sunshine is recommended, particularly during warmer summer months, to help prevent leaf scorch. Water regularly throughout the growing season, ensuring the soil remains evenly moist without becoming waterlogged. Japanese maples are particularly sensitive to drying out, especially when grown in bonsai pots. Pruning and careful branch selection will help maintain the tree's elegant structure and encourage the development of fine ramification. During winter, the tree naturally loses its leaves, revealing its branching structure. Protect the pot and root system from prolonged severe frost.

From its vivid scarlet-red spring foliage to its delicate summer leaves and beautiful autumn colours, this Japanese maple offers something different throughout the growing season. Presented in a Chinese glazed bonsai pot following its early 2026 repot, this individual specimen would make an attractive addition to any established bonsai collection.
