Pruned this huge maple. Marked air layer sites (6 good ones!), and then wired the part that is going to be the final tree. Still needs some touch ups, and maybe some wiring of the air layers, so I’ll post a final later.

A few busy days (or more to come this week) without time to post:
* Took all trees out of winter protection since we will have temperatures in the 60s and 70s all week with lows only around 40.
* Sifted pumice and akadama.
* Repotted a dwarf Hinoki.
* Pulled all of the 2 1/2 year old pine seedlings out of their pond baskets to sorrt out the roots, then returned them with the original soil to the same baskets [7 JRP and 4 JBP).
* Removed a yardadori red camelia from the colander where it's been for 2 years and potted it for the first time.
* Removed a crabapple from it's pond basket and potted it in a shallow terra cotta pot , aiming for a slant style like a fallen orchard tree.

Checked on the garage trees and noticed the Little Miss Kim Lilaclilac bud.jpg @Underdog most kindly gave me is budding out. It's early here, I'm sure winter isn't done with us yet. We have a week of 70's this week, so I'll have to be careful if we get really cold again. But I'm so happy it made it through the worst of winter here.
