Your "Last Tree of the Year" 2016 Thread

[Anthony]

Last three trees for the year are collected Tamarind seedlings - collected an hour ago. They still
have to be repotted. The guy at the parking square, said " sure pull up as many as you want from
under the tree."

Will show when they are potted.

These are the New Year trees.
Happy New Year All !!

Walmart S curve special from a couple months ago. About $6.50 at half off. 90 degree turn, actual soil, and a cheap Chinese pot.



Looks better now anyway

Looks like many good and exciting projects for 2017!! Happy New Year to all!


My last tree purchase of 2016 is this medium sized Japanese beech from Julian Adams that I bought at the Winter Silhouette Bonsai Expo in NC.






....which I may turn it into a raft style.

I don't actually have it yet, but I purchased this from Brent Walston on the very last day of the year. Japanese maple (acer palmatum, unknown grafted dwarf cultivar).

My last purchase of the year was a Beech tree(Fagus sylvatica) that arrived late dec, ive so far done some selective pruning and a little carving on it, it just needs the ramification built up over time, hope to get a lot more buds popping closer to the trunk this season..

My last tree for 2016 was this Podacarpus, for coming year I'll just repot into better soil and tale off the wiring it came with. Won't do any serious change in style for a year to come and still not decided on what to change.

I picked up this yew, Taxus baccata, back in December. It will be cut down to shohin size.

 

[Djtommy]

these i bought last week, a bunch of zelkova, one i will attempt a broom, so chop and airlayer, i also have this idea in my head for a clump, based on a real one i sometimes visit at a workplace.
one of these is already in that style but the base is not good so i will try to seperate them as i want to use these trees, not sure yet what i will do with all the smaller ones. maybe small forest or so

The last tree of the year for me was this Torvesa Flowering Quince. It's a contorted type, with very mean thorns. This is not its final form. It suckers like crazy, and seems to be an aggressive grower. It is full of flower buds right now, with one near the top on the right about to open.

Here's my last of the year, a slanting battered rosemary. It probably looks like a snack for @JudyB tree! I was happy to pick this up for six bucks, now when I prune I can add it to a marinade! Haha, man I suck with "smart phones"! Here is the lamb to the slaughter

Heh heh.... I wonder how many people reading this thread own a pot that's been photographed on that box. It's a killer pot and will make an outstanding pairing with the old hornbeam.... sweet!

I wonder how many pots I have that have been on that box... The other side not pictured of the pot doesn't have any marks, so it's really nice, enough patina to make it perfect.

my last one for 2016
euonymus alatus "compacta" (dwarf cultivar)


plan for 2017 spread out The roots plant it in The front garden on a tile to grow a propper root flair and fat double trunk

figure out if its ever going to be suitable for bonsai due to The corcky wings on The branches

 

[Eric Group]

This I think was my last purchase of the year! I have focused more on SELLING trees and buying pots this year...
http://www.bonsainut.com/threads/kakou-satsuki-azalea-newest-best-tree.24815/

The plan is already there. Just going to neaten it up, prune it a bit and wire some after it blooms...

 

[0soyoung]

Acer shirasawanum grown from seed (trunk chopped spring 2016).




It was quite 'lanky' before I cut it back for winter

 

[Dalmat]

Eugenia myrtifolia, main trunks were 6 feet poles chopped at stores parking lot,there is half inch mat of roots outside the pot, repot as soon as temps won't come near freezing at night.



and finally, Linden crossed my way, to be chopped as soon as it " shows me a new leader "
