What did you do today? Show us Pic Required

[Japonicus]

Been really busy today. Fitbit says 424 zone minutes. Heart monitor says I have SVT and reached 270 bpm not trying.
Got my maples and rose bush covered up, came in and watched the news and predicting 38F. I'm rural so mid 30s. I am not uncovering everything on a weathet forecast.

Thanks @penumbra . Just scrap 2x4s, plywood and some screen.
I was planning on layering that left trunk off in a couple of years. Is that the potential 2nd tree on the left base of the trunk you're referring to?
I suppose then the next branch up needs to go if thats the case.

I removed a little more foliage after that post. Hoping it lives. I have zero maples in pots. They all die. Hoping to break the curse.

Might check your water ph levels.



Enjoyed some sun today after doing the shuffle.



And defoliated and unwired a ficus that was covered in scale. Boooo.

Not a tree but I finished my new plant stand.

Today I did nothing but enjoy the spring!




Cheers

Today I took this pic of my thyoides:



The foliage color is still not vibrant, and it's too dense to see the structure. I will reduce that foliage in a couple months and try to make a better design....

My girlfriend encouraged me to put more of my trees in nice pots and get them out of plastic ones since I signed up to be in a garden tour in July and they should look nice.

Well I wasn't going to repot my quince this year but it was in plastic so I figured I'd set it up in a tokoname training pot and I'm really glad I did that.
....looks like most of the soil fell out of the training pot...


This one also has really bad roots. Growers need to stop leaving plants in their plug trays so long.

Hoping for some growth this year now that it's in a pot with a drain screen and will have soil stay around the roots.

And I made an ugly little root cutting.

Hm,... Seems like you ignore your own signs..

Took a couple Tropicals w/me to Florida so they don't suffer the same fate as many of my favorites did this fall, while counting on my neighbor's watering.
Creepy caterpillar / worm eating the new growth.

Lol attached the photo but forgot to mention that I found my concave cutters that I lost last fall. They were in the bottom of my hiking/yamadori backpack. This is the first bonsai tool I ever bought as a kid and I still love it

Built another Dawn redwood forest for my friend Dylan with 21 of his field grown trees.

Move-in and move-down day! First, awesome BC arrived today! Poor thing is clearly not happy with the temperatures as it headed north, but there's still some optimistic looking bright green foliage, and one 20 gal plant bag, 50 lb bag of pumice and 3 gals of water later, it's settling in:



It's joined alllllllll the rest of my outdoor trees downstairs - I moved the last of them down from the garage today. It's 51 degrees in the garage right now with the sun out, but got down to 34 last night and I don't want to take any chances. Everyone's clustered around the egress window (the best source of light down there) in what my non-bonsai friend called A Tiny Entmoot.

The BC should recover. Let me know if you have any issue.

That's lounging and not loitering. Feet are off the ground.
Loitering = standing or waiting around idly or without apparent purpose.
Here the purpose is apparent: to enjoy the bonsai trees. I bet the person wasn't idling either. The mind must be full of budding, wiring, etc.

root grafts on my new trident, I’m using old copper canvas/upholstery tacks as the plastic grafting pins are a little finicky for me, hopefully these will be alright.

and reattached the beast to a board last night after I noticed it slipping!

Potted a few trees today (Korean hornbeam starters from last year):


This one in a nice Rayner pot...

sharpening tools has quickly become for me an extremely therapeutic activity

 

[MeDupree]

Second major wave of the squirrel invasion and I think they're engaging in shock and awe tactics at this point!

My first jbp from @cmeg arrived so I'm not cursing at the moment.

They sell copper nails to kill trees…. Just saying. I would remove those.
