It is scots pine.
I want to plant it in a shallower container, so I burried the surface roots deeper, in an attempt to get them stronger. Next report I might then be able to shave part off of the rootball.
 
This was in a garden a few days ago. Today I saw it on the roadside and I asked what the plan was. Well.. Lucky me.. Their trailer was full yesterday, so it was not in the municipal dump yet. But that was the final destiny. Now.. It might still end up there. But if nt, this will get an individual thread. But that is for spring to tell.

Spent some 2 hours plucking, pruning and wiring a picea forest I inherited when I bought a nice Sperling pot.
Now I am wondering whether this little forest does deserve a decent pot, even though I bought the pot for another tree, and the wiring was just for fun so I can pass the forest on to someone else. Hm.. Dilemmas.

Guess I should record here too that I was trying to keep Mauro Stemberger and Ryan Neil from taking all the speaking trim from Kojo Hiramatsu at the Bonsai Trophy the last weekend? Some moving pictures from the demos at 11:20

Impresive.its only in spring time or this excebition is in autumn also?
 
this is always in the same weekend. Except for next year as it overlaps with the kokufu

Sorry if I'm missing the obvious,

It has been moved to not overlap with kokufu?

Or it is on the same date as kokufu?

What date is kokufu? I thought date wasn't released until October usually
 
The Trophy International Bonsai show 2026 will be in the weekend of 28 February and 1 March 2026.

I'm confident you're right

But kokufu?

I'm hoping to attend both and it would certainly make life easier to know kokufu dates this far in advance as opposed to October
