Hi All,
  For those who may not be familiar with bonsai techniques, it is common for small stunted trees to be planted in open ground for a year or two to fatten the trunks, they are then potted up into a shallow bonsai pot as usual. In addition I want to plant some short trees to air layer them so that the trunk is more in proportion with the branches. I have quite a few Acers

Trees are not to be planted on our site as per tenancy rules except the odd dwarf fruit tree.   If it only needs planting for 1 year why could the tree not be planted in a large pot and lifted out annually.  Last but not least... the point is made by the plot holder himself, that he has quite a few acres.  So why not just plant the trees in these acres and use the 1/2 plot for its intended use of fruit and veg.  With so many acres why would you need 1/2 an allotment ::) ::) ::)

Isn't Acer a type of tree?

The OP never stated they have acres of land they said (4 years 6 weeks & 4 days ago) that they have acers (maple trees) which need to go through the trunk fattening process used for bonsai trees which typically takes anything from 5 to 20 years to complete. Chances are the issue has been resolved by now.

...I have quite a few Acers which could do with the fattening process...

If the bloke was still active yes, but me myself have no interest in anything you can't eat, but some people like to branch out for more knowledge, so I think we should leaf this subject to others to mull over, who knows it might blossom if blackasnight comes back with more info, he seems to know his onions anyway, and thats shallot from me for one night.  ;)       ;D ;D ;D

I would go for the modern version of humble pie if I were you it actually sounds quite nice when compared to the traditional version.
