How you doing with the tall Euro Hornbeam, Jerry?

It's grown a LOT this year.

Here a month ago - nearly all the leaves are off now.

Between here and Reddit, I have enjoyed your photos for a while now. Please do keep up the fabulous work!

 

[Gary McCarthy]

WOW!!!

So many nice trees it's hard to pick a favorite.

Spectacular as always Jerry!
What is your secret to keeping your Korean Hornbeam leaves from good brown and falling off before the autumn colors set in?

I see you have one bare one already, which was in shade?!
I would've thought that the shady spot was best for that...

I'd like to see the POM cut down to the round dome.

Hey Jerry....

I swear the Rowan group has grown thicker....

Love these photo shoots....

But....

How friggin dope would all these be in individual progression series'?

The mad wicked dope....

Please string em up!
Please please!

I think these photo series are part of the cause of my interest in smaller trees. I am continually impressed by the quantity and quality of the trees you share.

POM - no, I'm hoping for backbudding.

I have over 10 years of photos for most of them - many progressions.

POM

The taller one with the possible airlayer atop....
That fat trunk seems wood look excellent with just that squarish shorter canopy.

The progressions?

Epic!

There's no actual secret - I've kind of come to the conclusion that some DO have nice autumn/fall colours/colors and others simply don't.

It doesn't seem to matter what I do. I'll look back over the years of photos - but I think that certain trees simply don't get nice.

 

[Tiki]

Another Norbury photo dump. Gonna be a good day.

Well done sir!

 

[BigBen]

WOW, outstanding photos once again!

Thank you for sharing them.

Your trees and pots have some great character. The white, shallow pot with the larch is an interesting choice. It's also cool to see a zelkova styled as something other than a formal broom. I like what you've done.

 

[clevetromba]

I love the toadstools on the larch. Also what you've done with the amur maple gives me an idea for this privet, I've been debating which branches to keep, but maybe the answer is to lose all of them?:

You could keep a couple (or 3) but shorten them.

I have this Privet: https://www.flickr.com/photos/norbury/sets/72157635004497666/with/37391872536/

Completely agree I have 5 or 6 all in the same shelf of my bench, two that I got from one source go brown and drop early, the others are slowly turning and much prettier... at first I thought the 'ugly' ones might not be full Koreans??

@jeremy_norbury how long have you been doing bonsai Jeremy? I am very envious of your collection. It is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
