New to Bonsai from NJ

Potted up the second procumbens today. Soil mix: pea gravel, pine bark, some fines from the 8822 and saf-t-sorb bag and about 2qts of compost mixed in a 5g bucket. Also fertilized with a bit of hollytone. Will optimize watering for rest of year. Want it to get as healthy as possible going into fall/winter. Will let grow out for a year or two unrestrained other than some basic care.

Once I have confirmation it lives Ill give it it's own thread

I have a few beautyberries which Ive neglected but this one is growing ok. I recieved these as cuttings from @Tidal Bonsai a couple years back. They havent done much but I havent put much into em either. Probably need to ground them for a three or four years to thicken. I tried wiring the main trunk on this one but I snapped it in like.... 3 places. Lol. I fertilized a bit and will leave it for a whild now. The other 3 or 4 cuttings Ill get into a larger grow box next spring.

Repotted collected Crenata. Will let recover for rest of fall. Will get one fertilization in before end of Month. Was hoping to get it in a smaller box but didnt want to reduce any of the fine feeder roots.

Will probably sell this guy in a few years. So if anyone wants to make an offer, Ill put your name on it.
 
Of the two above, the oak was worthless. Azalea we will see if it survives.

boxed this crenata today:

your trees look nice.
 
This viburnum was a cutting from my other viburnum. It hasnt grown a huge amount but has some nice low buds... I chopped it back and took the top and buried it to see if it roots. If not, no big deal. Sealed the cut. I chopped a full internode above the internode I want to pop in case it dies back.
