The Shohin Tree Thread

This is probably the hardest tree, I have, to photograph. It has such good movement but so much gets lost in the pictures.

A shot of a few of my shohin Chinese Elms after their first trim for Spring ... love this time of year.

Hokkaido elm. Needs an angle change and a new pot next spring. This angle isn't quite right yet.

Spring is just getting under way down here. Thought I should post this little azalea before the weather ruins the flowers. There are lots more buds to open yet if the weather holds.

OK, time to lower the bar some in here.

Dang, you sure did lower the bar! Just kidding. Actually I'm going to lower it - here's what I think may be a ficus I dug up from some weeds behind an apartment complex I used to live in.

Here's my shohin azalea. A few years back I found it on a scrap heap. It was much taller but about a year and a half ago it was vandalized - cut off at the base (along with some of my other trees), I suspect by a bully in the apartment building that had arguments with my daughter. Anyway, being basally dominant, it has been growing back. I'm going to try to keep it this size and eventually get it deeper into the pot. Hoping for blossoms next year.

Nice display!

I suspect this will end up shohin, a Japanese beauty berry I wasn’t planning on touching til next year so I could have a better shot of cuttings establishing well. These seem to grow like weeds and people seem to like them, but I don’t see a lot of them it it feels like, so hoping to propagate some more.

Early spring is a great time of year as the deciduous trees get started.

Wire off the schefflera as it was just starting to nip. In a koyo. And a random spider plant as an excuse to use the cool pot to the left.

Couple of pics before this olive goes to its new owner.

Mid spring is kicking in down here and the pines get busy!


Will probably look to compress this last one next autumn but happy with the way both of these are looking.
