JRP from seed about ready for some fall work too. Needles got yellow, and I think it’s because the roots got too hot. 100% sun this year.

Thanks! Here's a lodgepole pine that Michael Hagedorn, John Eads (Left Coast Bonsai) and I worked on. All 3 of us wired it pretty quickly, and it was mostly Michael who styled it.

Work I did for a client in Nebraska on this legacy Thuja occidentalis collected in Canada in the early 1980s.

Approximately how many hours between the before and after photo were spent pruning and wiring?

Approximately how many hours between the before and after photo were spent pruning and wiring?

Approximately 10 hours. The way I like to style Thuja takes a great deal of work as I like to dissect each pad and divide them as opposed to leaving them to bunch up in clumps as I have seen many do or let the fronds just flop. I have attached a pic of the same tree back in 2010. In the process of restyling it the front was changed.

As per the rules of this thread you owe a pic!

I can't seem to find a thread on this neagari crepe myrtle. It's fall show is spectacular. So placing it here. I've a cool video over on Instagram...as it turns on the turntable you can see the structure under the canopy. Love this tree.

Pot is 10 inches for size reference

Beautiful specimen. Just spent the last 30 minutes on your website, absolutely incredible collection of trees. You’re extremely talented Sergio! Keep it up!

Early spring Ficus BD I've grown from a rooted cutting. The 'child' tree on the right I've developed after cutting back a root I didn't like.

The tree today. Health was beginning to suffer in that shallow pot. Such a different feel now.

Another yamadori olive I dug.
Worked on deadwood and cut back to branches I want to develop.
