Added another One Seed Juniper to the collection that’ll complement Bjorn’s Tornado well. Video below:

Got on a cruise ship in Mobile Alabama, heading to the Bahamas for 8 days. Yesterday was 72°...today it is upper 40's/lower 50's (°F).
Just got to our room, first time I have had a balcony on a cruise.

Repotting season is on… first went this big buxus I bought last November… took me 5 hours to do all work… and I didn’t expect that… but found a lot of interesting things in the root ball. Love the nebari, love the bark… have no idea yet what to do with the top. This needs to be significantly smaller… but now have time to think as the tree regains full strength.

I bought stuff to start getting my growing area in shape for another year. No pictures of today… so here’s pictures of a massive beech tree I ran across hiking this week.

I repotted one of my first trees into a pot that actually fits it.

Cleaned & wired a tiny shimpaku I got back in December. Doesn't look like much yet, but I added more movement to the trunk and removed some branches I didn't think would fit the design.

Pruned and repotted a Trident. Been out of the ground for 1 1/2 years. Pot ID width is 16 inches.

Thinking about entering these two for the Pacific Bonsai Expo...
The japanese black pine in particular is quite a nice specimen. Just needs to be cleaned up.

Repotted this shohin Acer Palmatum which had completed filled its pot with roots after hard root-pruning last spring. As a result I have slightly over-potted it in this creamy-blue number from Willow Bonsai South Africa.
I purchased this last year cheap and though i like the base and movement I am probably going to start again with most of the branching, heal a few wounds and sort out the apex this year.

Today is the last day these two trees will be under my care. I am giving them to a friend.

Can’t wait to see how you style that tree.

My friends first trees, styled and potted by them, they are so excited and are nuts like us now, lol.
Both need to recover for a while now.

I need to learn to take pictures of bonsai. The first tree is totally a flat top in real life but it doesn’t look like one in the picture.

Just to be clear Uncle C didn't send these to me.
This morning was a bit cold but the sun came out and really warming things up. Water the trees and look at the buds swelling. Spring will be here after tomorrow morning. Excited for what this year will bring.

Dug up, cleaned, and potted a huge multi-trunk maple I found late last year. Lots of fine roots, but the groundsoil was a wet, sandy mess. I tried my hardest to get as much of the old material out of there but had quite a bit left. It's potted with a mix I use for newly collected trees which is 2:1:1 pumice, bark fines, dried sphagnum, and an extra 0.5 of manure compost. I also watered it in with Cannazym, a product for hydroponic cannabis growing that breaks down dead root material and encourages new root growth. I haven't decided on the final length of the thickest part of each trunk, I figured I'd wait a season to see how it grows in and then make cuts at next budbreak.
In a couple weeks I'll collect one or two hornbeams, and a thick winged elm after that.

I spent my day redoing the first half of my nursery area. I dug out a stump, put down new landscape fabric, built benches and mulched.
