San Jose juniper, being worked on last night in the kitchen and back on the bench today. I hate junipers, and this tree in particular. I'm working on getting the canopy even. I probably need to close up the gap between the first and second branches on the left as well.

Ive been growing a Birch(Betula pendula) for a couple seasons on my front balcony, on a tile in a flower pot....it only gets a little evening sun in this spot, it will be cut back eventually, when the trunk is thick enough,

Ive been growing a Birch

I think this one is a Pubescens. A little shorter than yours.



This is a ground layer from a tree I dug last winter. It's probably going to be a multi-trunked shohin, depending on what it looks like when the leaves drop.

@TomB. lessen the gap, and create more!

Potted and to live!

Yep, they grow scary fast and considering mine is in deep shade, im tempted to move it into full sun come spring......ive just wired some movement into the trunk, applied some tape to minimise any wire marks, im still getting some extension so the trunk was supple to movement

the tree comes out the soil upright, so i think it will be eventually planted at an angle to accentuate the movement

 

[TomB]

Looks like it has the makings of something really nice, looking forward to seeing what you do with it. This is my potentilla (work in progress again) after a hard cutback a few days age.



Does anyone out there defoliate potentillas?

Update on this potentilla:



Needs a haircut. Nice flowers though.

That’s a nice tree, great bark
A beech, last year it lost a few branches, also the main branch, I think because of damage I induced while wiring in winter. so now in proces of restyling, at least it came back strongly.

As summer draws to a close, hints of autumn begin to sneak into the garden.

You could say autumn is ... creeping in!

Every tree at pebble beach looks like bonsai. Such an incredible place.

A friend of mine said the same thing, that they look like Bonsai! I quickly replied with "dig them up and bring home!" HAHAHA
