Beautiful colors! I wish mine would do that. My BC leaves mostly go from green to dark brown.

Ahhh it's got to be my northern climate... just as we see fall colors on all our deciduous. It's special to witness. Sorry to hear you don't get to witness it.

Still shots for those who don't wish to follow the link to see it first hand outside 2D.

Looking great @Cadillactaste, one day I will try to make a shohin BC for sure.

Do you protect your BC at all in your zone? I normally don't protect mine at all here in central TX and get great color... but this last growing season they have been in shade all year and the leaves are doing exactly what yours do. Going from green straight to brown.

This was Nov - Dec 2022

I do protect from the harshest of elements. But permit light frost. I'm a zone 4. I'm moving it in with the rest when I see hard freezes. My wintering environment is set to 32F. So I don't see having them hit harder on my bench. Exception is my Thuja rock planting. It's out there a long while getting in chill Temps colder than I permit in the cold greenhouse .

This wee thing...I have fun with. It's been a joy having it on my bench. I hope you do one day.

Yours are MUCH more colorful than mine. Mine are BROWN,-brown. Most of my BC still have quite a bit of green on them .........and then.........brown.

Mine are turning brown from green this year because of lack of sun light, the picture posted were from 2022 when they were growing under full sun the entire year.

Well done @Cadillactaste
Looks like it has kept its size well as a shohin. I've been curious how hard it is to keep a BC reeled in as a shohin.

Thank ya kindly... for me I think weeping makes it the easiest style to keep maintained...as in height. You're taking everything downward.

Little tree with a lot of character.
