[parhamr]

@August44 this is a photo thread


Not my photo, tree, or pot, but it is the 2021 US National Exhibition “Best Deciduous” award winner in a contemporary bag pot by Nao Tokutake!

Repotted this one today. I’ve been waiting a long time to use this pot.

I'll be putting up a few larger pots on the shop soon. I've been swamped with commissions which means few things are for sale

Lovely work!
Your almost sold out! Looks like I can still buy the button though.

Would anyone have a pot of Nao’s to sell me?? Especially if it looked similar to this one.

I posted this in another thread, but just to keep things going and support Nao! Tree still in development. His future is extremely bright as an American bonsai potter!

That is a killer tree, in a beautiful pot. Here’s another recent repotting, a blue chaste tree in development.

I have waited almost a year to repot this . A winged elm in a Nao pot . Had to run around between rain showers , so not a very good picture . Tree has lots of work needed still . Thx Nao .

Hard to get a good picture of the colors. I need a better photo setup.

Will need to rebuild a bit, but trunk base is nice.

In between rain, snow and sleet storms I repotted this European hornbeam into one of Nao's pots . Out of the growing bed for a year . Still a ways to go lol .

Yet another project tree in one of Naos pots . A air layered maple to turn into a clump style . Lots of editing to do still .
