A little willow ficus

Shohin crepe myrtle in need of a trim. The growth and flowers kind of crept up on me!

Small chojubai!

Just wired it for the first time. Looking forward to the future with this one!

This one was bought 3 months ago, and for the first time I've refrained from an instant root trimming, repotting and styling, wich is what I usually do (no matter the time of the year). But, I've heard, this is a fragile species when it comes to repotting. It's my sixth leptospemum, and the first five where repotted and pruned as they got home (with no problems). Anyway, I love this one enough not to risk it, and so, there it is, flowering and waiting for spring repotting, as I took this pic last night (I couldn´t refrain, and pruned and wired it)

These will all need a little cutback in the spring.

Elaeagnus pungens in early development, started from an air layer last season. Initial styling yesterday. I really love Elaeagnus, nice fast growing plant with loads of interest.

This is a Fuji apple 8 years from seed. I ate the original apple which was from our Korean supermarket.

2 more small silverberries

Small juniper, I’ve been creating the deadwood on the trunk for the last few years. This season I started switching the foliage over to shimpaku. The graft is basically healed but 2 weeks ago I scored the callous a little more and covered it up again. The cut paste is cracking so there’s some activity under it along the graft site.

Put two shohin in pots that I made

Getting weird…a chunky Nandina I dug up last year that I’m playing with. Got it in a pot by John Cole. Trunks about 4” across.

Shohin trident forest. I have a thread for it in the forest contest section.
