I trimmed this Hinkoi Cypress 'Alaska' to thin out the foliage and remove problem branches. I really like the natural chaotic nature of the branch growth on this cultivar.

First time in probably a year since I last touched this tree. I plan to repot this in bonsai substrate from nursery soil and attempt an airlayer somewhere near the top. It has some interesting branching that would be a shame to just cut off. I'll put some wire on the branches tomorrow to get better spacing and positions of the branches.

Prayed that my son remembers to water the trees while we're on vacation, although I think it's raining there. Sorry no picture, I'm drinking a beer.

I repotted a Barbados cherry tree, and a Vietnamese blue bell to get them out of nursery soil and into bonsai soil. I'll spare you the repot pics as I didn't take any. I then made a small cactus garden in this pot my daughter got me at salvation army.

I two stepped my recent repots and my JWP into the house.

Still under tornado watch through early evening.

 

[Paradox]

Did this over the weekend: repotted and pruned my BRT. Wanted to wait to take pictures because they were all freaked out from the moving around so their leaves were closed up.

Nice! I’ll post for both of us! I sat with the tree in a deep think about wiring up into literati. I’ve honestly landed on 4 different styles. Also, doggo got a Summer pruning today.

Put up an extension of the shade tent, so the walking up maples will be protected from direct sun and wind. 3 or 4 hours work, including finding and cutting down the bamboo with the right thickness and length.

Very cool being able to find bamboo to cut down locally, and it looks great.

In fact there is a small bamboo forest inside my property, which makes things so much easier!
