Rooting for Jouquin

Trident Maple Bonsai - Day 320

I repotted all of my Trident Maples last week, but perhaps I should have left little Jouquin seen above alone.  All of the other trees had nice strong root systems.  However when I went to clear the excess dirt from around Jouquin’s roots, I kept digging and digging until just one thin tiny root appeared.  Hopefully this was not too much of a shock to the tree, and it will be able to develop a nice strong root system.

    I really like the picture of this so young Jouquin. Hope it will grow & its tiny roots will evolve into a strong root system

    How tall will this little guy get? Seems small for being 320 days old.

    This one was snapped in half last fall by a squirrel, and had not shown any new signs of growth until just recently. If it survives I will probably keep it no higher than a foot in height.
