Built a box and potted up this weird big trident. Fresh from the field. 7” trunk at the narrow part. Love the bark.

Lots of yard work today: cutting last year's foliage from the Siberian irises and the ornamental grasses.
Also got the rest of the bonsais in pots out of hibernation and resumed work on the "East facing" boxwood ( taking out bad branches and chopping back...looking for direction...)

New shoes for this nana. It didn't need a repot, but I really didn't like the pot it was in.

Picked up this Mahaleb on The Trophy. It was on sale for 90 euro on the last day. Before the price was 150 euro. Carved it today. Still need to carve it deeper at some places to correct the taper more.

@19Mateo83 came over recently and saw the massive dead tree on my property line. Matt deemed it unsafe so he told me he would take care of it. He showed up today and dropped this sucker in the woods while I kept a rope tensioned with my truck.
Matt is a skilled, hard working man that loves trees. Thanks so much!

With it starting to rot and with it leaning toward your garden and house I couldn’t not take action. Glad to be able to help out a fellow nut.

Judging by the foreground I can appreciate the confidence in your notch.
No tension rope or cable and 10 ft from our house. BTW that's a 36 in bar on a 5 hp saw with no compression release. Like kick starting a Harley Pan head
Coulda heated the whole 40 ft house all night with just the black oak wedge.
Now you can come help me with the dead sassafras tree beside our house and hanging dead branches over my building.

Not very bonsai looking but maybe one of these years. Here is a Pinus Maximartinenzii. A very rare pine that grows the largest pine seed/nuts in the world. The tree also has the highest number of cotyledons of any plant (typically 25+). It’s also very rare literally only growing on two hillsides in Mexico.
The real reason for me posting was to announce I got an email from Peter Tea in Auburn (outside of Sacramento) is looking for a new apprentice.
If you know of anyone who wants to pursue a career in bonsai and wants to be professionally trained, look him up. His contact should be on his website which is PTbonsai.com.
Peter is very good and has more winning trees at the Pacific Bonsai Exhibit in 2022 than anyone else. He is also a very nice person to work with.
I wish I could do that but I’m old and will have to do with paying for my learning from Peter Tea.
Happy growing

Obligatory pic of what I did today
besides moving some trees onto the bench and resting spots.
After drinking 108 ounces of this nasty nasty nastiness I realized what super Tuesday actually meant.

I have done that, you should have a fun time getting it all out. The colonoscopy wasn’t bad at all for me.

finally repotted a mikawa japanese maple with a stone outcrop arrangement from chinese karst rocks.
now brainstorming how to use some other rocks languishing on the shelf: root over rock? penjing compositions? accents? suiseki? lots of possibilities

Ever noticed how trees get bigger the closer to your garden you get?
A colleague pulled a bunch of yews from his yard over the weekend. On monday he jokingly said, you could make a bonsai out of them if you wanted.
Joke was on him, because yesterday he had o bring them into work!
Anyhow.. Three trunk in my car. Stop at the garden centre for some pots. Struggling to get them into the pots. 2 potted up. Third did not fit and need another solution; This will have to wait untill the weekend. Some of the surface roots peeking out, but that will be fixed next year (Or who knows, I feel like re-doing the work over the weekend, but a thick vertical root stopped me in the dark with pooring rain; I could not get myself to try and saw that off. Let's see what lives and what not!
