Dave send it to me if you don't like it. It's an upgrade from my jbp. Which is none unless you count the seedlings contest. Like my guy wires?

Some serious bending (and no snapping) of those branches

It appears according to the letter of the law it had to be a picture of one tree! So which one of the 24 did i pick! This one! And one extra individual picture. JBP transfer from colandar to growbox beginning year five. These are Mikawa JBP from seed acquired from a grower in Kyoto. candle extensions approaching 3 inches end of april. Expect three flushes of growth this season. Next step will be checking each tree to remove branches that may create problems for the trunk shape and managing the apical sacrifice for maximum growth while retaining the lower branching. Keeping the sun and air on the interior buds and smaller branches.Lots of water and fertilizer. They are in a very free draining, high aeration mix. Combined organic and slow release osmocote Apex brand fertilizer applied.

This grafted juniper was thrown from its bench last December and partially torn from its pot during the oak tree debacle of 2017. Many branches were bent or broken and the lowest graft was broken and twisted, most of the foliage lost, and essentially detached, though wire kept it from being completely removed. Well, it’s recovering well... and the dropped branch lives on!!!

Another project, a long term one: this little Chojubai is currently being developed using the 'escape' method. Roots are growing down into the big pot below, and a sacrifice trunk is going to be developed at the back. In a few years time it should be a nice semi-cascade mame/shohin tree.

I’m sure you’re tired of seeing pics of this azalea ? but every time I think it’s peaked I wake up to even more blooms.

Nice Kinsai @NorthTXacer! Be sure to prune away the branches with the fat-petaled flowers. They will overtake the thin-petaled flowers and eventually the tree will be all fat flowers. They don’t go back to thin. Best time is toward the end of blooming. Here’s mine, first flower open of the year, Bunzan pot.

So this honeysuckle got ripped out by a chain that the person didn’t want anymore so they let me have it, the roots were somewhat broken and I had them up. Other than hoping it stays alive, I also hope the bark recovers because it’s ugly from the chain. Anyway I think it’s cool and big, so I figured I would learn on someone’s trash. I love freebies

Yah. Beautiful stuff, NTX. My only living mame. Maybe even only technically bonsai. ?
