Bought three little kishu’s. Time to sharpen the creative and technical blade.

Exactly!! Haha

I made this completely unjustified impulse purchase at a liquor store. CARPINUS! What a great name!

I ain't posting my ugly mug, but I gained two eyes today. I'm getting old. lol

Look at size of this nebari! Don’t worry it’s straight… there is lovely taper in the upper section!

Or may any of these be a better angle?

Love the tree. Do you have more angles? The foliage is out of my reach and it’s like I’m wanting to engage with it but the branches and pads are on the other side of the tree and out of my reach. I also like the pot.

I also like the Jin you created. It looks clean and crisp but is also on the same plane as the branch and pads. They almost hide, but they’re really pretty and I want to see them! They could stand out and really show themselves off with some movement in wire, branches, pads, and angles. Some tweaks would really bring it to life ️

Harvested and soaked some seeds from the Kinzu I got last summer, purely out of boredom. I happened across an old thread today at work (obviously not working too hard) @milehigh_7 did you have any success with yours back then?

 

[Dragon60]

Today I repotted this Eastern Red Cedar that I started from 2 cuttings about 5 years ago. Once they rooted I heavily wired them and over the years rewired them several times.

I sent some good karma down to Louisiana

Yep about 90% or so.

Did an emergency move all the trees inside at 9:40, because it got down to 16° F before bed. Had to tag some pots with a mallet to unhook them from the ground, but the soil underneath was still not frozen, so I hope things are alright.

Wife and 1 year old went to bed early, so I stayed up late and finally made some progress on my Christmas contest tree.

 

[Fidur]

Some pics of my trees today. In order, a zhantoxilium piperitum recently defoliated, a leptospermum scoparium with a flower, and a calliandra brevipes grown from seed the last 2 years.

 

[KateM]

Started soaking Oriental spruce seeds I collected at work. These trees have very short and dense needles.

And made a couple double-lipped pots...

Julian Tsai at Fresno Bonsai Society meeting today.....in new meeting space at the Clovis Senior Center. Nice, new, large, well-lit room!

 

[PowerTap]

Repotted my Dwarf Schefferella into a new pot! The exposed roots have been developing for almost 2 years wrapped in soil. So now I'll see how it goes. Lots of good roots below the exposed roots.

I went to my first Bonsai Society of the Carolinas (BSOC) meeting today. We met at Bella Bonsai and I got to meet everyone and talk trees a bit. I had a blast stomping through the woods looking for trees with potential. I came back with yet another American hornbeam. I also became a member of BSOC!

And… I finally got to get my bonsainut pins. Thank you @Sansokuu and @WavyGaby

I am so bummed. A big gust of wind blew over my maple and broke the pot it has been in for 18 years. Had to do some extensive root work cause I didn't have a pot close to the same size. I sure hope it survives the winter. So that is what I got to do today. Some weather coming in Friday and in the 20-30F for about a week. I usually leave all my plants outside to fend for themselves. Don't know about this one. All of my plants are from around my yard so the are acclimated to the weather. Should I do anything special after this root trimming?

Thanks for all of your input. I have moved all of my plants(10) into the garage. 41 deg in the garage and 15deg outside. It is suppose to be like this until Tuesday.
