[The Barber]

Left work early today to hit up a nursery about 45 minutes away that I hadn't been to. They have some nice arrow-straight, 15 ft tall, 7-8" trunk bald cypress on sale right now for 150 bucks each. I may go back for a few to add to the 5 I already have, these are really healthy looking to boot. They also have Metasequoia, 10-12 ft tall for 225 each I wouldn't mind. Didn't have my truck with me or I would have grabbed some stuff.

They had some nice 4 ft tall, 3 inch diameter trunk hinoki as well, but at 495 bucks I passed, though the ones I have may take a decade to get that big I feel like lol.

No photos of the bc's, but here are the meta.

Checked on my trees; yep they're still there I think.

Back to playing with my tropicals...

 

[Ruddigger]

Put this little Itoigawa into a bonsai pot at yesterday's club meeting. If it dies I blame @Ruddigger for peer pressuring me into such a small pot

 

[snowman04]

Opened the box and let this guy out!


I love this pot. Good thing I have three months to pick what's going into it...

 

[Orion_metalhead]

Potted some ficus cuttings for winter growing under lights. Have three more to pot up.

Then, began work on my next VFD pot but my wife thought i was too loud with the dremel and threw a left over tortilla at me so I only made one cut at the top of the pot. I started reassembling the body though now that the components have had a couple months to cure from thier spar urethane treatment. I want to get the cascade planted soon.

. Not the tortilla!

 

[Orion_metalhead]

. Not the tortilla!

In her defense, I deserved it. Lol. At first I was using the dremel on high speed and she told me to stop.... so I turned it down to low speed. Next thing I feel is the cold slap of the tortilla on the side of my face. Lol.

 

[pandacular]

I did something of an emergency repot on this mame premna. Went to lift it to check on it, and it fell right out of the pot!

 

[Kievnstavick]

I did my rounds, inspecting my tropicals, after work and spotted this guy already emerging. I planted these on Sunday in the wee hours of the morning.

This is one of the Monkey-Ear Tree. Speedy little guy. My Korean Hornbeams and approx 130 Korean Fir seeds (expectedly) are still hiding. I'm not expecting much from the Firs as they were mostly the floaters and have not been cold stratified yet.

 

[dmwphoto]

Repotted my Ginseng Ficus and my Golden Gate Ficus.

 

[19Mateo83]

So far nothing. Hanging out inside with the dog waiting on this weather to pass.

Checking healing under ally tape.
Blows me away how rapid this technique is.

Had my Oregon oak, Q. garryana in the bonsai shack for a little wiring and silhouette photo while it drizzled rain outside.

chilly on the 16th….

 

[19Mateo83]

I counted the BC seedlings that arrived today. I ordered 25 and I received 38. I get to pot some of them up tomorrow in grow bags and the rest I’m planting in a wet area for future collecting.

 

[broken_branch]

Checking healing under ally tape.

How long has that been taped? Where's the before picture? I need answers

 

[Joe Dupre']

I stripped off the few remaining leaves on my biggest bald cypress and pruned it back for better taper. Newbies (and some veterans) cringe at taking off so much growth, but it's necessary for the nice tapering of branches. This tree has seen 2 growing seasons from collection. Collected with a completely bare stump. Now, I'm off to do a bit of wiring on it.

 

[19Mateo83]

Potted this hornbeam today. I got it to fit into a 7 quart oil drain pan from O’Reillys. This one had a ton of fine feeders and luckily I only had to trim the big ones to get it to fit. I probably could have cut the trunk a whole lot lower but I want to make this one into a larger formal upright. Once it starts budding out I will make up my mind how tall I want it.
