I cleaned up the bulk of my mess from last weekend.

Nice! I was at New England Bonsai the night Gerald brought in his huge shipment of trees. There were a lot of awesome little black pines. I’ll regret it, but buying one just wasn’t in the budget.
Besides the great trees, Gerald was an awesome guy. A real wealth of knowledge and very friendly.

Sure did! I was looking at that one too
but promised the Mrs. I wouldn’t go too crazy and ended up with this one. Got some wire bite I need to take care of today and hopefully style it back into something less bushy

Was at a show.
Someone was selling plants.
My eye saw a cool pot.
Did not like the trees.
But..
Made good bucks by buying this forest composition for 50E, in what turned out to be an old Kai Sperling pot.
Gotta love drainage holes like these:

Another JM labeled as Atropurpureum.
Not saying it's anything too special, but it certainly presents some striking differences in leaf color, size and internode length. New one is to the left of typical Atropurpureum.
Will practice airlayering on it next year.

yixing pot I bought just arrived from China, only 11 day shipping! thinking I might hold it in reserve for a seiju elm air layer I'm planning for the spring, but who knows what'll happen by then

Cold frame accessories.
Question: if I am making a 4' by 8' cold frame - how long of a heating cable would you use?
I got a 30' length, thinking I'd lay it back and forth 3 times lengthwise - but I'm thinking maybe that's not enough?
It will also be against the house, so should get some heat from that.

I wouldnt use any heat source in the cold frame.
I dont have one in mine. I just cover it when it gets below freezing.

It's a cold frame so why would you use any kind of heater?

Fine, I'll call it a "slightly less cold frame."
I have some Japanese maples for the first time that are on the edge of my zone.
I'm in Maine, I don't think a regular cold frame will stay in the temperature ranges I'll need. I don't have a garage or other structure to use.
It's not like I'm planning on heating this thing to 80°... Maybe 40° at the roots; still researching.

Got this monster Japanese maple from a friend who collected it years ago.

Good point. I didn't know that.
Maybe you can put these trees in a syrofoam box or something like that instead on days it's to cold?
