Hi there
Joined a couple or so days ago and working out how to post here has taken me a bit of time. Been a while since use.
Initially I was looking for "New Members Introduce Yourself Here" tab but nothing found... except this part of the forum. So here goes...
I'm in the SW UK, county of Somerset. I've a variety of trees in different stages of development towards Bonsai. Began back in/around 1992~95 with a Crabapple, root over rock Trident Maple and small Acer palmatum forest group. Added to these with a Field Maple and English elms, yew and others.
Although I still have these I took a break from keeping up with their management for Bonsai because of other Life commitments, Falconry and other life happenings. Planted them up in garden containers and trimmed back now and then...
Retired from full-time employment back in 2017 (January) and got back to Bonsai in late 2018. Small garden... pretty much taken up with the variety of trees of saplings from seed germinated in 2020, Zelkova serrata, Japanese maple (from Sango Kaku seed) to the 1st trees from back in 1992~95.
First attempt at airlayers in 2019, English/European Hawthorn, successful, just - 2 of. Next attempt in 2020 on with a number of Japanese Maples (11) from the trees from back in 1992~95, Field Maple (2), Japanese Hawthorn (2), Trident Maple (2). The 11 Maples went into a forest group this spring of 2023.
Now trying to decide what to do with the remaining unsold Zelkova and JM saplings and looking towards preparing for the coming winter as autumn has begun with some of my trees although entering the second week of September and in a heat wave after a poor August.
