That is some of the best rmj foliage I have seen. Also, did you see the one in the black plastic container in the conifer green house at NE Bonsai? It is $300 and worth it. It is a very rough tree. It needs a ton of work. It is kind of leaning over the side like a cascade.

Hmm I don't remember that one right now but I'm sure if I saw it I would. I haven't been to the nursery that much this year because I have been so busy so it's possible I might have missed it. Is it an RMJ?

I'll be up there in late November......with a mini-van. Leave one or two for me, please.
Tom, RMJs are like potato chips.......you can't have just one
. Yours is looking pretty good and I hope it continues to do well for you.

Yes, fantastic foliage for a RMJ. And I see a lot of scale foliage. I bet it'll only be a yr Tom before you can work it...I also have a new RMJ, which also has some pretty good foliage, but only has 40-50% scale. This one I know will be at least 2 yrs, just collected in 2012. And I know how incredibly hard it is to wait to work a piece of material that you love, have the design in mind, but the material isn't ready.
Anyway, really cool tree!

Well so far so good on this one. I think I found another possibility for a front as well.

I like that front, too. I think that front has the live vein coming out of the soil and up along the right side of the deadwood trunk, right? Great looking foliage...I'm jealous

Thanks Dave, and apologies for the bad background on the pics, I need to work on that. This front shows more movement, and it leans towards the viewer. We will see I guess.

Yes that is the live vein in the front. I guess this is the new front then!If the live vein is visible as well, then this is your front

Very nice Tom! Can't wait to see it styled. I love RMJs!! The only thing wrong that I see with this tree is that is not in my garden!

Thanks Mach, I can't wait to style it as well. I need to study it a lot more before I'm ready though.

Just saw this thread! That's a really nice find Tom! Superb foliage for a RMJ.
Whoever did the repotting of this tree did a good job. I would copy everything about it. That's a whole new thread by itself.
I don't see any fertilizer cakes on this pot though. Why not? You should fertilize it a lot, but go organic. It will seem to respond faster on chemical fertilizers but it will weaken in the long term.
How do you water this tree?

Hi Si, good questions. I thought I put some fertilizer pellets on all my trees at the end of the summer but I can't remember if I put some on this one. You're right, the soil looks empty of fert.
I have watered from the foliage and then hit the base quickly with a watering wand.
I'm curious on your take of the repot?
