Last tree of the year, 2019 edition

This should be my last tree of the year. If I'm not wrong it should be a celtis sinensis. Just repotted so won't be doing any pruning for awhile even though it's secondary branch structure is messed up. Need it to recover energy first.

Crossing finger that i won't be getting more, did spot a small boxwood that might make for a cute mame bonsai.

To be honest, I'm still undecided on a side. The top has way better branch placement and trunck movment but will require work in the apex. While, the bottom one has a better truck line and apex for a bigger tree but the branchs will be needing the work.

That looks like it's going to be a fun hornbeam! So many options! :eek:
Bring it to the Sergio workshop this summer, he will be able to help you chart the course.

Aha, a Singaporean! I have familiarized myself with the sun's movements back-and-forth the equator, but I'm unable to get it clear in my brain exactly what kind of movement you get in weather. It seems to me that you get two summers: March 21, & September 21. Please straighten me out?

@Forsoothe!

Hmmm, generally weather is consistently warm throughout the year at about 30 deg cel in day and mid 20s at night over here with humidity at about 60-70%. Daylight length is consistent at about 12 hours throughout the year. Rather than the 4 seasons, it might be more accurate to call it 2 seasons: monsoon and non-monsoon. Kinda sad actually cause i very much love to grow maples but can't due to the weather.

With the idea of having 2 summers i cannot attest to that but you may be right in the sense that temperature does increase slightly during march and September with lesser rainfall (non-monsoon season). But the increase in actual temperature is rather negligible from about 30 to 33 or so. Likewise for monsoon season temperature does drop slightly.

I think countries higher up might experience a greater shift in weather say for example Thailand (i believe they even had snow one year) rather than Singapore as we are just one deg north of equator.

Thats the plan! 😁

Looking forward to bringing it down then for sure. Till then the only plan for now is a light repot to change the soil and two guy wires.

So my wife planted this Colorado blue spruce fifteen years ago in the pot in the photos at the in-laws' house. It has been in the same pot, in the same dirt for that entire time. I finally convinced the mother-in-law to let me take it off her hands instead of planting it in the back yard. I am litteraly itching for the spring repotting.
