Today I worked a bit on my coprosma kirkii

 

[Khalero]

Made a new bench today for my 3 trees

 

[KateM]

Repotted my Boyd's willow. It does not look alive or dead...

Twisted this Arbor Day Crhistmas donation DAS
It's as tall as a chopstick

Went exploring and got me a mulberry clump and some elms

Nice bark

 

[yashu]

Watched Boon repot the NEBA club tree…

Juniper grafting

 

[RobGA]

Actually yesterday, went to the Atlanta Bonsai Show, had some great trees. Here are a few. The Wisteria fragrance was amazing.

My tiny serissa have new shoes.

Digging from my grow bed and putting a 6ft tall Chinese elm with 5 ft long roots into a bonsai pot.

And... what did you do with the roots? Because they can be propagated with root cuttings.

Good heaven no! The roots went into the trash can.

 

[Maiden69]

ugh... those could have been some interesting trees. Right now I have around 6 root cuttings from my yatsubusa elm that I am about to start wiring down. Best thing about them is that the trunk take a while to lignify, and can be contorted as much as you can.

This tree by David Cortizas started as a root cutting.

Some of us are trying to reduce the number of trees we have.

I think he meant, "Don't leave the roots in the ground, because more elm trees will grow."

Somehow I totally missed that second post from Maiden69. Apparently, I'm confused and disoriented this morning.

First wiring for a batch of 50 maritime pine. It was easier to wrap the wire around a chopstick and then twist it around the seedlings.

Today , it was time to work on my ficus microcarpa:



and repot my hinoki "teddy bear":

 

[Brain Treez]

Went for a repot of this Lime Glow juniper (horizontalis). I had to cut it out of the nursery pot to reveal a solid root cake. Just sawed off the bottom half, tried to work out what was left of the "soil" and put it in a pond basket with pumice. Fingers crossed I guess.

 

[keyfen06]

Went to the first 'Bonsai Fest' show in Newark yesterday, picked up some azaleas and took some photos of a few trees on display.

 

[Calnicky]

Today I potted up my first ever separated air layer. This is a Nothofagus antarctica (Arctic Beech) which I took off of a Nothofagus I bought from the late Dave DeWire. It was a long, low branch that wasn't needed in that location but I didn't want to waste it so here we are:





I'm hoping all goes well with getting it up and running in pumice. It's a very nice tree for bonsai - small leaves and naturally curvy trunk and limbs.
