    Uncommon bonsai species

    I have 50 species of trees, but nothing particularly unusual AND native to my zone. I have a couple of uncommon species which are not native here but which are greatly underrated: - Chinese Ash - Italian Alder

    Help me with a Virt for my shohin Ume.

    Nearly all deciduous trees will backbud on hardwood after being hard pruned. Elms 100%, prunus too, I can't even think of one that didn't.

    Trident Maple -- Black spots on new growth

    I have to say I am spraying every Trident with everything I have about once a week right now, with the hope that it stops these black spots.

    Help me with a Virt for my shohin Ume.

    It'd be good to see the tree out of the pot - see the roots too.

    Should I protect early buds on Larch and Dawn Redwood?

    Larch need no protection, ever, in my experience. I have over 250 of them, if that helps...

    Help me with a Virt for my shohin Ume.

    What's between the soil surface and the roots? Can it be rotated anticlockwise?

    I believe there is zero difference...it is pure aesthetics.

    American Beech should I dig this up?

    No, I would not. It has weird nebari and no taper. You'll spend years trying to correct the former and you more or less can't correct the latter.

    I know I'll be buying so I don't even try to fool myself into believing I won't. Small trees, then 😂

    Some photos from the Belgian Bonsai Trophy - yesterday.

    Over a thousand people, I would estimate - they had over a thousand last year. I learnt my lesson from last year - if you bought tickets online you ended up in a 45 minute queue to get in...but if you just showed up at the door with cash, 5 minutes. By the way - here's what I bought...

    The Trophy 2024 - 17/18 February 2024 - Genk Belgium

    Too kind. I collect a lot, I grow a lot (many cuttings and some seeds) and I buy a lot...I have a lot at this point. If you go to my photostream here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/norbury/ you can see what I'm up to on a weekly basis. Here's a little Privet I grew and repotted a couple of...
