Beautiful trees! Wow!!!Here are some of the mountain hemlocks I have gotten over the years.
I just stated to work on the hemlock in picture #2. I’ll start work on the other 2 in a few weeks or when ever I get my new greenhouse done. I have not be able to do much work on them due to health issues the past few years. I’ll post more about them soon.Nice material. When are you planing to do something with them? I hope you will share the experience with us.
Thanks.Beautiful trees! Wow!!!
Nice! I’m not familiar with Ashe juniper. Is the foliage floppy? Or does it grow upwards?I just finished working my Ashe Juniper. It is the only one I kept and probably the oldest collected tree (2009) I have. The more I learned about yamadori and bonsai, the more I sell the trees I started with. However, this one has been a learning tree. Ashe don't like to lose more than 30% of their foliage. They revert to juvenile foliage. This tree is maybe 20% and therefore I pushed it to the blink of death several times. Now I know so I'm more careful. I worked this tree with Owen in June 2015 and then recently, Owen gave me guidance through an online consultation. The tree is still a little too foliage heavy but I need to be extra careful and slowly get the foliage where I want it.
