wild one. hackberry seriously pulled, growing almost out of the road five or so years ago -now out of the spaghetti rope tangle and roots cut hard. should have done this or worked roots much earlier, learning.

It's pretty interesting how our bonsai sensibilities change even over a brief time. When I started just last year, I was only interested in developing larger bonsai. I now am very interested in shohin as well. Attached is my first, a Chinese elm - should receive it in the mail today. Who knows, maybe I'll even like literati one day (or not).

Repotted and pruned a little bit either next year or somewere this season up for a hard cutback.

Olive, growing now after initial wiring and potting.

Cleaned up and wired an azalea recently, here it is in the rain from earlier today

I need to bring that lower right branch down but it’s just a tad intimidating so I haven’t tried to start on it yet

attempted more thread grafting too

Here's my 'Toyo Nishiki' starting to bloom.

Reported this trident from a grow pot that is technically not shohin any longer which I bet is part of why it was being sold. I’m not sure I care as “close enough” may be ok in my world.

I like the pot but don’t know that I love it. There is an oribe Koyo oval on the FB auctions right now, had I seen it first I may have nabbed it and waited to repot…. Well, the hunt will continue next year. I think the straighter walls on this pot may have ended up working better anyways. A more sloped oval might make this look kind of like a ball once it’s leafed out.

Ficus ‘Wiandi’

“Braided” Beautyberry in a Koyo pot with beautiful patina. Dug out of the ground and put in this pot. The top will be worked after the tree is more established in the shallow pot.

Clump Beautyberry dug out of the ground and put in a Chinese container for future training. It will be pushed more to the right next repotting after finer roots get stronger.
