Worked on this California juniper collected by the late Frank Goya. Still need to clean the live vein and deal with that right-angle jin. Thinking of giving it a thread, but not too sure how long it'll stay in the collection.

The son of one if my neighbor wants to start a landscape business. I am a customer now. It appears I will have to sell a couple trees to get that flower bed done,I guess you didn't get the front yard flower bed cleaned up for Mrs. Cajunrider.

While assembling my larch forest I pulled three seedlings out to make a clump. I'm really kicking myself for not purchasing the clump larch from my mentor a few years ago. I've always loved his larches so this is a much smaller version inspired by that tree.

I went ahead and did the necessary root work on the BC I flat topped yesterday. It’s not the thickest tree but I feel the scale works.

Had this beautiful pot I’ve been staring at for months from @BrightsideB . I don’t have any “trees” that will do it justice but wanted it on the bench so I planted this cork p Afra over the weekend.

I covered all mine with sheets. Calling for 33 tonight but If there’s one thing I’ve learned in this world it’s never trust the weatherman…especially around my neck of the woods…

I built a clump of Styrax japonicus, the Bill V. way. I’m really stoked with the results, I think it looks awesome and I haven’t even done anything besides wire the trunks and toss it together.
As can sort of be seen in the pre-potting picture, this is actually 3 plants, each with multiple “trunks.” I used a thick wire with no plastic as tourniquet to join the trunks, hoping to ground layer some new roots.

This is an EXCELLENT job wiring, especially for a first attempt. Well done, and stick at it. Don’t forget to check often starting in about 5 weeks! It can bite in quite fast.Wired my first tree!!! Not the prettiest job. But I learned some lessons, and I'll do better

It should be removed when it appears to be flat on the side contacting the bark, as this means the wire is starting to “bite in”. Really it’s not the wiring biting, but the branch growing into and around the wire. It’s very important to take it off before it grows too far into the wire, or the branch will be scarred for many years. Just keep it an eye on it as the tree starts to grow out.Thank you!I've been trying to find good info on when to remove it.

Very nice!!!
If it were mine I would set the second branch on a more horizontal angle and set the flat a tiny bit lower. I see that natural pattern all the time down here in the swamp.
Now I know where the pot goes
PS: It feels good when you know your friend.

Truth be told, my time and cost to get the trees are roughly the same as the time and cost to do the flower bed. The only gain is that I get to play in the mud.Fill it with pre bonsai Bald Cypress...Done!!!!!
