My Shohin Collection ....

[Jeremy]

Nice, we also call them indian hawthorne, I have never seem them as bonsai but have always been curious. Leaf size seems reasonable and looking at hedges around the area they do reduce. I had no idea they flowered so tightly. Slow growing but a very nice species, apparently worth the effort. Thankyou for the pictures, please continue.

As usual, a treat for the eyes and the soul. And I'm always amazed by the amount of plants you have under your care and how organized it all looks.

The pot does look amazing. But yeah I acctually agree with you it does not look like a small tree and im not really a huge fan of it either.

Wickedly fat trunk in such a small pot, though.

You should create a book with photos of your shohin. A little description of each as well. I'd buy a copy. Your work is really wonderful. Thank you for this.

That's interesting as my least favorite 0352 but I would still love to call it mine. That is how great these all are. Usually it seems that you look for the one you like the best, in this case you like all of them so well you are looking for the one you like the least.

Great work, my hat is off to you for your ambition and dedication PLUS taking the time to share all of this with us.

OMG. I am totally blown away. Those are absolutely the best Shohin Bonsai I have ever seen in my life.

You definitely have the most amazing gift when it comes to Shohin Bonsai.

Well done. Love to look at these trees over and over and over.... Well I am sure you get the idea

But to clarify it would still be my nicest tree haha

Peter, we all could learn a lot from you if you would add some little snippet of the process each time you post. Not that just seeing your trees isn't enough but knowledge is king.

Near the beginning of this thread I asked if you had a Tamarindus.I only wanted to know if that tree would work as shohin.You did not reply.So I guess that i will move on and just assume that you don't.Thanks a lot for all of the great shots.

Lovely presentations all, and terrific pot combinations and variation of specie. Forgive my ignorance, but what is the tree with the fruit? Is this persimmon?
