Projects in BNut's Backyard

[Bonsai Nut]

Hey @Anthony ...

Does it look familiar? I still have five! They got a little cold this winter, and were not happy about the move, but they are starting to burst out with new growth!

Oooh, I remember you posting about those "frosty"? elms. Add me to the list if you've got extras, I'll send you some azalea!

I have to take care of prior commitments first. I promised some and have yet to deliver them. I don't doubt people are wondering if they will ever receive one

Some Fall maintenance on a few trees.

U. parvifolia 'fuiri'


U. parvifolia 'corticosa'

The eleagnus that I defoliated and wired earlier this year. If I were still in SoCal I would have defoliated it a second time.


A small ficus cascade I am working on. Happy that the descending branch is staying strong. I defoliated the top of the tree earlier this year and let the branch run. Each time I work on my pad structure.

Green grows the grass over the septic field. Yes, we have lived here 18 months and yes, all my bonsai pots are still in storage. Trees look healthy though!

Awesome @Bonsai Nut!

Yet it looks like there’s room for one more tree….. a shohin on the stone border wall above the stairs!

LOL the only reason there's a gap there is that I had some princess persimmon seedlings in a pond container that I moved elsewhere

It is pretty ghetto, to be honest. The white pine cultivars to the left in that photo are all "testers". I wanted to make sure that I could care for a lot of different JWP before I started to buy better stock. I owned some in Chicago, but you can't keep them alive on their own roots in SoCal, so I'm a little rusty.

I'd be thrilled if that "ghetto" was in my yard!

Holy shit Greg. I had to show this to my wife and tell her “see, I’m not that bad!” Seriously though, that row of junipers in Anderson flats, first pic of post 25 look ultra healthy and primed for some special stylings.

Good idea, I'm calling him in here right now to see I'm not that bad either.

I am already too far gone in my wife’s eyes She is very supportive though, bless her heart.

Great collection, Greg! Looking forward to seeing those white pines progress!

I use a similar bench system. Lumber and concrete blocks. Simple and sturdy. Love it!

Couple shelves of mudmen and a few coils of aluminum and you got yourself a bonsai nursery!!!

Ghetto? Maybe I spend a weekend?



I have a weird pre-potting ritual...it's harmless....

No one ever said ghetto stuff doesn't work, its just ghetto.
