Ruben's 6 year JBP contest

[BackyardBonsai]

Mine is less than 3 inches. Are you still talking about tree height? That is what am talking about. Only a few still alive but less than 3 in.

 

[Ruben Bouwmeester]

Nice! I like the bends you put in them. Good result for only two growing seasons in the low lands Makes me feel more confident about my pine and larch seedlings!

Thanks, stil some newark work to do.

 

[Ruben Bouwmeester]

They look as big as mine. So they're huge, got it?

I called the fire department because there was a cat stuck in my tree's. I wonder if we can win some grow with fertilizer.

Getting more respect for people that have growing them here in holland and belgium.

Update. Did some repotting last week together with @DirkvanDreven. Some good nebari's and some not so good. Still 15 left that are in the contest. Hoping for a nice growing seizoen.

Thanks Jelle, They didn't liked our spring drought and where turning a little yellow.

Are they hard too grow in Sao Paulo? Here in Holland they are always late. Still have too figure out some things.

They are doing ok, not an explosive growth, but getting bigger, fatter and twisted. Main problem here is the very mild winter, and in the peak of the summer they have to be shaded from direct sun. Tomorrow I will post a picture of the two most promising.
