I bought this seiju elm last summer intending to use it to learn how to air layer, and set my first one tonight

Prairie Fire crabapple from EGGW

Thread '1st Crabapple have to start somewhere...'

Jan 23, 2019

Ok, got this little Prairie Fire from Brent last Summer after seeing @LanceMac10 's crabapple tree.
Then I saw the one in the Winter silhouette thread by Bill. OMG I got nothin'!!!@!!! That is awesome.
So, I thought this might be a good time to wire the perfect Y I had, but the twin trunk was a bit closer together
and I failed to take a before picture today.


Pardone the wire ends, this was the back when I applied the wire, then changed my mind 180º

I slipped it up to a 6" round late Summer and roots seem to have taken a good hold.
The bending went way...

Bought this Scots pine 3 years ago from Poland. Gave the tree its first styling today.

hmmm... these couple of branches on the right... unless there is some green stuff at the end outside of this picture... there is really no need to style them... they are done...

Finished a first styling on this super delicate CJ. It's hard to see the scale... but the live vein is thinner than a pencil. The current apex will ultimately be sacrificed for that little tuft of foliage on the upper left side. Here's to hoping this thing actually grows this year.

I know they are done. They are jins. If you look qt the picture again, you can see the branches are burned. In one year they will get lime sulphur. They got wire to place the jins in the right direction.

There's a couple of Tilia in the grounds where I live, took some interesting cuttings. Won't get my hopes up tho.
Will leave them out of direct sun and wind

Im getting some extension on these Tilia cuttings, which is encouraging

Yesterday I started 2 air layets on my Hollywood juniper.
Today I took 8 cuttings of it and 4 cuttings
from a ground growing Sargent juniper.




Cut screens for pots




Pretty sure this a Sargent juniper

Building a new garden out back. Giving my little Gorilla cart a workout, and my shoveling muscles too.
Built it last weekend with a buddy.
Got the garden mix delivery today while I was at work. There's plenty more to fill still, did what I could before sunset, after work.
I'll set up a trellis for cucumbers on one side.

[stewarjm192]

See attached my American Larch, repotted into a Sam miller pot, styled and refined over the last two years with the instruction of Mark Arpag. We repotted the last week of March, but just got this photo taken a few days ago when the weather got a touch better.

Bald cypress budding in Phila

Fooled around with my 2 year old rhododendon cutting. I did'nt acually plant it in there. Still early days And the roots are fairly shallow on these things. The old mother plant is way behind.

Today was scent tour day. I took a tour with my gf around the city visiting known wisterias and discovering new ones by following their scent.

Visited my local botanical garden (aka seed market) to collect some European hornbeam, European beech and hawthorn seeds.

Hornbeam

 

[Underdog]

Got the Tree House set up partially. Most trees out of the mulch. They all need attention.
Broke branch on my Hinoki something fell on it it appears.

This Oak tree has a choke hold on the Hawthorn...

 

[shohin_branches]

Wired the trunk of my itoigawa down a little tighter then repotted it into something that isn't crumbling. I wanted to take more off the bottom of the roots but the soil it was in fell away really easily and I didn't want to bare root it. Hands off the foliage this year. Still a ways to go on this little guy.

I pruned three little Chinese elms that I want to make into shohins in the near future.
