My phone looks like it’s been through nuclear war but I refuse to give Apple my money. Repotted a RMJ Saturday , would be styling this weekend but we’re going collecting up in NY state , hoping to bag 2-3 for my own collection. View attachment 438341

Here is a Scots pine that I had wired up a bit in spring and did decandling work earlier in the summer. It back-budded nicely.

Starting a thread based on work I’m doing at Kifu. Will have more to post as other trees are styled , and repotting begins in spring. First tree is a oriental spruce that I’m giving a make over on, too needs to be regrown but basic structure is set. One day it’s going on a slab, tried to capture the in page if angle best I could but was busy. One challenge is that I’m using aluminum wire as to not waste copper on some of the trees. Guy wires, raffia and tape are helping.After & Before

This was sold to a customer , cool to think work I did had some hand in customer thinking it was it was worthy to take home with them

Black Hill spruce, apex needs to develop and ramify , the apex is jinned. Going in lace rock coming spring , at new angle or a bit more acute from even that
