Took most of my Beni Chidori out of the greenhouse two days ago and it decided to hail today. They all look fine though, and got the first tiny leaves opened up.

I haven’t seen many Bunjin ginkgo but decided to do mine this way to keep the tree with minimal pruning. That should keep these very slow growing trees in good growth because ginkgo grows so slowly.

Today it's raining, so I got this juniper inside for some styling ....
This is it 2 years ago, a rooted cutting I planned to style in cascade style:

Took a beauty shot of the juniper
and couldn't avoid to take a pic of this leptospèrmum in my garden:

it was gnarly windy today, so all I did was look at my neighbors cherry.

Started changing the design on a tree I found last year's that was being sold as a pine. I'm not fully sure but I think is some kind of Mediterranean juniper.
(Low quality pic from listing)
I worked it into this, the trunk is extremely stiff.
But it wasn't convincing so I decided to change the angle
I set a cascading branch and tried to give the top a round shape, but it's hard to create density since branches have nearly no foliage inside.
I think I might try some approach grafting with discarded branches to better populate the top, and jin the current one.

I agree with the others. 1st style was more convincing.

I trenched around the perimeter of the pot of my
1st JWP....
...and Aerated the soil.
Excited to tend to this one this Fall.
Will be some cut backs and thinning and wiring.

Hi all, first time poster. I'm just getting into bonsai for the first time.
I ordered two 3yo Japanese Black Pines online to start with.
Then I got interested in Japanese Maples. I now have five. I've also started some air layers on a Dawn Redwood tree and a Cherry tree, and I plan to do an Elm tree in couple weeks.
All but one of my trees are in nursery pots, and I've been spending the last week figuring out training pots and soil. I elected to make some cedar training pots, and today I've been working on those. I might char them for added protection against the elements. Might also look nice. They're going to weather to a grey color anyway.
I wasn't really sure what sizes to shoot for, so I made a variety. These are two of the medium sized ones. The one on the left has inner dimensions 12" x 8" x 2-3/8". I know for "show" pots the general rule is to shoot for a pot that's the same height as the trunk width, but I thought for training pots I might go with a bit deeper pot.

Pic tax:
Same type of maple and same age (orange dream).
One was always in the ground one always up untill recently in a pot.
Looks fantastic growboxes indeed! I made them always from the cheapest wood but now I prefer pond baskets.

I find Adamski's comment hilarious since my gf is a professional photographer and she always says that my photos are hideous, and I agree with her 
.
Here is a better one.
This is the current state of work. Some branches will be used for grafting tho so I can avoid the serpentine of the current top.
I think that in the long run it will pay off.

Is there a specific reason you didn't want to pull it out and do a full repot? Did you apply that product in the bag to the tree?
