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.
 
Well… the day is still progressing. So far:
  • Sifted recycled media from yesterday’s batch.
  • Added more akakadama and biochar to above media to make 5 gals of conifer media in total.
  • Sifted small and medium and small pumice. Mixed with biochar to make 5 more gallons of media for big satsuki repot next week.
  • Pulled Vine Maple out of pot, sorted roots on the plate that was already there and up potted in a wooden box.

  • Pruned back and trimmed protruding roots off of 19 other Japanese and Trident maples in boxes already.

  • Pruned 10 Trident and Japanese maples in garden beds.
  • After late lunch will set up a flat of seedling mix in a tray and strike over 50 assorted kurume and Satsuki azaleas.
  • Maybe quit, or if enough bandwidth will measure old benches and create a materials buy list for Saturday to build 3-5 more small benches.
cheers

Would be faster just to cut it down.

I'm currently cursing the weather.
Will be the 3rd Saturday in a row with rain

Thank you so much!! Ok now to pull them out and reset the grafts 🤣😅 if this tree survives it will be very strong indeed

Ah! But my neighbor has a yard of trashy and inappropriate trees that are increasingly shading my vegetable garden and my bonsai grow bed. (hehehe...)

I believe this is the exact use for the nails…. Notice the part in the article about hiding them with mud 😂

Hmm, you know I have a neighbor tree problem as well.... 🤔
 
I started rough shaping of a juniper I'm picked up at our club show last year. In replanted in pumice a few weeks ago, so I left most of the runners for energy - just trying to start a pad on outboard end, larger pad nearer the trunk.
