Looking good in the fog!

Should I be trying to return it? Should I try to prune it down?

The outer bark is damaged. This, I believed happened 3 years ago that part just fell off one day. Now we notice that some limbs don’t produce dense leaves and other limbs do.

Anything we can do to make things better?

I am unsure if this maple is scorched from low water or just transplant stress. Has been in for 3 weeks. It has been cool here, around 50s during the day. Water every few days. I am extending the mulch bed farther currently.

Treeb been doing as well thr last couple seasons. Today, saw the bark peeled back with no effort with lots of little larvae. At least half of the tree, the bark peels odd. What are they? can this be saved?

I picked up this kiyohime and two other maple bonsais today I was wondering if it is safe for the plant if I cut off these roots so it sits flush

First Ghost was doing great! Not so much anymore.

Going to get this beauty in the ground today hopefully, weather permitting. Happy to be a part of the community 🍁
