Have you dealt with buckthorn before?
Well, somewhat. I have a couple young ones in the da.e pot I am torturing and a stump I dug up last year and put in the ground.
They are invasives...
There are a couple people on this forum dealing with them and Nigel Saunders got pretty big one...
Garden center lonicera nitida.
What I started with
And what I ended up with
It had broken off branches sitting in crotches of other branches with air roots growing down...
Buried a couple root cuttings to see if the grow more heads...

Any Asian food store should carry the takeout chopsticks in bulk. I pay $2.99 for 100 pairs

Last one for today, I promise. 
Went to the back of our property where I put two sticks of forsythia when we first bought the house. They are now huge, but could've been even bigger if they weren't shaded by a pine tree.
Inspired by a recent post by @defra dug a couple of larger side shoots. Did not get too many roots, but I am hopeful as they root so easily from any branch that touches the ground. Had to resort to some creative potting and wiring in...
And a little one. Looks like one of the branches that rooted before and lost its connection to the parent bush.

I let my sageretia grow a new branch for 2 months, and today I was thinking the joke has to end....

Grafted prunus kwanzen onto plum rootstock yesterday.(first pic) The plum is from seed, tons of scented early white flowers, super robust, and produces lovely tastey yellow fruit. I air layer a few branches off last summer and its remarkable how quickly they put roots on. My new fave tree to play with(third pic). I also grafted several flowering red crabapple, second pic, (from a tree thats about to get taken down when the building its growing near gets squished) onto potted up suckers my Mac apple tree puts out. Ill likely do more of those grafts in a few weeks. The fourth pic is one of the mac suckers I just repotted today. Fifth pic is one of several collected flail mowed roadside d.firs (just boxed up a couple days ago) and the last pic is another flail mowed d.fir collected last year

My forsythia is starting to bloom.
I am struggling to find a spot in my house to photograph trees. No help from the professional photographer that lives here.
I am learning the patience to let them grow so they can set flowers.

cute little guy! Think about getting a plain white poster board to set as a backdrop, that's all you're missing. Bonus points for setting the stand on a piece of black fabric or black poster board. Pics of the greenhouse currently with spring color! for tax.

Our club sponsored a beginner's potting workshop today. We had about 10 mentors and 25 beginners----some with multiple trees. I first helped a guy with a thick twisty ficus. Then I was amazed when a young couple came in and asked for me by name...They had a Juniper procumbens and a ficus that I did a first potting and initial stylings with them last May at the Bonsai Festival at The National Arboretum. No photos from today, so here's a hornbeam yamadori first potting last week.

Went to my nephew's birthday today and being around that many kids is exhausting so I forced myself to just do one little repot of a kwanzen cherry. I have my large hornbeam forest to tackle tomorrow.
Convinced my fiancée to help me find some backdrop paper so we will probably hit up the art store tomorrow.

Repotted a sapling from my ebb and flow system to a regular pot
(I know, it shouldn't have gotten that bad - but it's the only gutter I haven't put screens on, and I broke my leg last fall and didn't get to it!)
No idea what it is, but if it can survive a Maine winter in a frozen gutter, it deserves a chance!
And yes, I used giant shears because I was too lazy to get my tools.
