Good morning all. Thanks in advance.

I'm very new to this hobby, and just trying to keep my eyes open, looking at trees in my local area how they grow naturally, what local species etc.

I came across this in one of my customers gardens this morning and it really struck my eye. It's an Acer yes? Looks well established, interesting movement, trunk as a good 2 inches, no sign of ugly graft that I can see.

I thought this might make some great bonsai material. But thought I'd get some feedback from here please?
Customer is really friendly and I don't think they would mind at all if I offered to buy from them.

As long as the tree is not grafted all Acer have similar potential. The quality lays in trunk thickness and root flare. The rest of the tree will be cut back anyway and regrown a few times before refinement.

It is hard to tell from your pictures, but it look like it might be a red-leaf, dissectum variety. They are quite poor for bonsai.

I think it would be important to fund out what variety it is. Some varieties of japanese maple are great for bonsai: They naturally want to make short internodes, leaves are small and vigorous. The dissectum (Or laceleaf) varieties have long internodes and are not vigorous.
