Very awesome. Enjoyed the progression of course.

Finally repotted into something that will make fall color even better, a blue Koyo.

This one grew well this season, now patiently waiting for color change. maybe a little cutback at that time for shape to make it purdy.

Looks pretty purdy to me already!

This is very nice quality @Nybonsai12

This is very fine work you achieved there.




I have over 300 seedlings starting now!
Indoor co2 fertilized grow all winter.

Do you find the Var.Coreana a bit finiky?
Like one chop a season?

Double post!

Double post!

I don’t find them finicky at all. Just slow to trunk up and slow to heal chops. This one has been relatively problem free in terms of bugs or fungus.

A few pics from the last week or two as the color change starts to happen.

Amazing specimen. Are you planning on pruning it to make the main trunk line more visible when in leaf?

We'll see in spring when it's time to prune a little for shape and possibly repot. I tend to prefer very full trees so usually don't remove much.

Yes, I wasn't suggesting anything, on the contrary, I love the full look of it.

I never did like the way most bonsai trees seem to have a window in the front of the canopy to see the trunk. It looks too much like a cut away diagram from a biology textbook. I've gotten used to the fact that it's the norm, but it still looks contrived.

Good to see the rules are not strictly enforced here
