How is this tree? I got a 5 year plant from international bonsai and am looking forward to diving in with it.

It‘s doing just fine; already trying to wake up, clearly unaware we have 25f temps coming this week.

 

[Brian Van Fleet]

Night shot, not much slowing it down now. It may get repotted tomorrow. Still have those 25f temps on the way.

Will it remain on the bench thru the cold spell? On the ground? Or more substantial protection?

Maturing nicely.

Thanks. I’ll probably bring it inside if it drops below freezing at this point.

Repotted...and growing!

I love the new pot with it Brian. Coming along nicely.

Nice shots of new growth.

Night shot after first spring pruning. The bark is starting to shed a little, which is always fun.

Hi, beautiful tree and impressive progress. Since I can't afford good material at the moment I'm considering buying a 8ft tall Chinese quince (for cheap) to trunk chop.. Could you please comment?
Thank you for sharing.

Thanks. They do respond well to trunk chops.

There's just something about this tree that I love. The mottled gray trunk with the blue pot is just perfect.

Beautiful tree BVF! Has it flowered for you yet? I heard they take a long time to have flower.

It's probably been meantioned, but what's the rough height on this tree?

Thanks, no flowers yet, and I’ve had it over 15 years now.

Around 20” tall.

Thanks, I think it is a good pairing too.

I only have a few small trees, but last year they had the nicest fall colors in the garden. They are all going into the landscape... assuming I have landscape for them to go into Perhaps in 10 years I'll have something worth talking about
