I bought this chojubai in 2017, and in only 3 growing seasons it's come a long way. Most of the long scraggly stems will be cut once they thicken for a couple years, it's a bit of a hedgehog.

gonna need a photo...

Like “The Tree Thread”, this is a new thread where, if you comment, you have to post a picture of one of your Shohin trees (8” or less in height), in a Bonsai pot, and ideally in a display format. You can post the same tree multiple times, in different seasons, different arrangements, or with different accents. Please include pot maker.

Smaller arrangement. JBP, Syuzan; Trident, Ikkou; grasses, shinobu; princess persimmon, Shuho.

Thanks .... I trained him since he was an egg , j/k. It was a baby blue jay that we rescued in my back yard, he was hanging out for the first 4-5 days or so. Very lucky to be able to take that pic.

Try to photo graph your tree in front of a darker background. If your tree has very little in detail a light background will look like this.

Seiju Elm broom in the making . Potted down today .View attachment 324656

I would love to know more about the process you used to make that - how you started it, when it was chopped, etc. I would like to make it a point to start a deciduous mame next year

in order to keep with the rules, here is a neea buxifolia, I don't seem to see many talk about this species. No idea what pot.
