I foresee lots of azaleas getting posted in this thread over the next couple of weeks . My contribution

Indeed...Kinsai just getting started in a Bunzan pot, with an onlooker as I was setting up the shot!

An air layer


Hey! It qualifies to be here in the tree thread. It is a tree peony after all.

Mine getting started a few days ago. The top appears to have far fewer buds this year. I’m not sure why but admit I’m a little disappointed. Was hoping for a bigger show.

Beautiful!


Newly repotted Japanese beech forest. The plastic mesh in place to limit soil erosion until roots take hold.

@BobbyLane the first time I saw the beech raft I was not a fan. However, you are turning it into something special. I realy like it. Especially in the second pic. NICE!

@Brian Van Fleet My man, do you even own a tree that is not this quality or better? C'mon post up one of your "guilty pleasure" trees and make us feel normal. lol

A small Brazilian Grape Tree. It was 4-5 inches when I got it but decided it should be bigger.

The raft is looking good Bobby. I found piece of promising material for an elm raft recently.
Picture: semi-cascade Acer palmatum.

Nice BGT. Ha, I have plenty of project trees, but don’t usually photograph them unless they’re being worked. A few...

Thanks mate, i think the Beech is on the right track now.

I like this twin trunk rain tree, Here's an English Elm in a similar style twin trunk form, i do love the elegant trees as well as the battle hardened brutes
