RMJ from last weekend's national show.
I have admired this tree for some time now, and glad I found the owner/creator(current). I have a few large landscapes with low branching I would like to do something like this...I followed the work on your site and again thank you for sharing. I almost commented on why you chopped the top jin, then realized it was still intact, hahaha...amazing how pics don't do justice sometimes...would love to see it someday. Great stuff and inspiration. Wish I saw more EWC, I realize the foliage can be droopy, but that's the fun in creating and how we work with the species characteristics.Same Thuja Occidentalis shown at the US National in 2008 and ten years later in 2018.

Thank you BE.REAL. Yes the ten-jin is still there just not so clear in the photo. Thuja foliage can be difficult to mange. You really have to be on top of it. This particular tree is unusual in that it is a wild small leaf cultivar. I think next year I will start to take cuttings.
Here is a small leaf linden (Tilia cordata) from Mirai. It came home with me after the US National. Rare and difficult to find as bonsai in the US. This tree is compact with a very powerful trunk. It packs quite a bit of punch!

Nice image! I am growing out some seedlings (Now at the 2 inch stage, 5+ years going). What is the sizes for this one?
Oneof my long term projects. Growing a trident seedling on top of a rock. This was in spring. In the insane summer we have had this year, this has grown to 7feet tall..

Leatherback, the linden is about 25" tall from soil level with a 5" trunk.

Great Linden, although I have yet to see anything less than great from your sharings...inspiration for me! Funny, you show a linden, as I was planning to air layer some larger branches from a few adult lindens on my folks property. they were planted 15++ years ago and now mature trees, any thoughts on doing that are welcome. Great Nebari on yours too...I have heard some people call it eagles claw, that type of spread, for this one I am thinking more like an Octopus spread, Ha! I also like linden as you can see, they don't all change together, some are still green while others are dirty yellow, or even a brighter yellow, plus I have heard various ladies comment on the heart shape leaves, so theres that!! HA.Thank you BE.REAL. Yes the ten-jin is still there just not so clear in the photo. Thuja foliage can be difficult to mange. You really have to be on top of it.

Also am curious about those large shows, I have yet to attend a large one, but are people able/allowed to touch the trees? Forgive my ignorance, am just picturing a non-bonsai person grouping those soft and subtle branching layers and disturbing or even worse injuring it. Any over all comments on the show? compared to previous years? any surprises or creations that caught your eye? Be well to all.Leatherback, the linden is about 25" tall from soil level with a 5" trunk.

Thx. Mine have a long way to go then!
@BE.REAL you owe us at least 3 pictures of your trees in this thread!
In 2012 I started growing out plants like this one, with the aim of not doing major chops. So.. 2 inch trunks now, slow process if you do not let them go (One I let go and cut back the first time in 2017, and has a 3inch trunk). Tape measure in cm. 1 inch = 2.54cm

NO, you should never touch someone else’s tree; not at a show, not at a club meeting, and not in their back yard. That is a faux pax. Sorta like posting to this thread without including a photo of one of your Bonsai trees.?. You owe 2.
