One I forgot to get a pic after I cut the roots back on this slow growing Mikawa Yatsabusa.
It's been in ground 6 yrs.
Fantastic minimal internode length.
Two, on my knees the canopy looked fine with the trunk straight up. Now I feel it should lean right a bit.
Really though it is planted back at same angle which has looked fine since it's been in the ground.

This is typical for M.Y.Nice nodes! I’m digging it
They're just so slow I never remove much each Spring.
I expect recovery to be equally slow.
I'm still growing it out and the current 2 trunk forks are larger than the 1st branch

I up potted a couple Japanese maples today. “Mila” and “Aoyagi” , both came from Mr. Maple in 2022.

Cleaned the roots from the crappy soil and into a grow big with better media. It’s a Kuro Hime that I got for air layering.
The seeds all came from the same plant but one definitely does not look like the others.

Potted up a 3 yr old JWP seedling from Julian Adams.
3 or 4 yrs ago a Freebird planted
this tsuga Canadensis in a grow box that I need to shore up for another planting. So I got a relatively free bonsai in the works.

That white pine is so tiny! Also, nice choice in salt

Thats the thing with seeds. There is no guarantee that it will have the exact same appearance as the tree it came from.
Each seed is its own combination of genes/DNA from each of its parent. There are variations so different outcomes are possible for each seed.
That is why they say cuttings are the only way to get a true clone of a parent.

Tonight was ficus religiosa night. I decided to finally separate the three left that I started from seed 3 years ago, the pot was starting to get drainage issues. As you can tell, three in a pot gets a little crowded. I still have my bigger one to do but that’s another night.
Now all three trees have their own homes along with a little root cutting.
And more root cuttings for more tiny trees.

It's no big deal. I don't usually mess with seeds but winter boredom drove me to it. Still, it was fun.

It dwarfed on me. I had 3 but needlecast or some disease hit some if not most of my pines last year. The other 2 croaked but this one just topped itself and shortened its branches on its own compacting itself.That white pine is so tiny! Also, nice choice in salt
Didn't like the wet soil it was in so it was not going to do well unless I intervened.
Once I tried TM salt there was no turning back. No residue or brown sludge left after mixing a batch. The LPS loved it.

I love that little pine
. I’m getting tired of the brown residue of IO salt but when chewy runs the buy 2 get one free sale plus an additional 30% off for signing up for auto ship it’s hard to say no to 3 buckets of reef crystals for $90

Repotted my cotoneaster from an oversized glazed pot to an 8" training pot. I was going to go with a pond basket but I am going to give it 2-3 years in the tokoname with a lot fertilizer.
Still needs a lot of root work and more focus on scar healing while I grow it taller and build the main branches. It kinda looks like a little tree demon with the two big scars at the top.
This is what it started as two years ago
