one-to-ones

Just a few tree’s that were worked on. It was such a busy day and many trees have been nudged along.

xmas rose in flower.

 

This is a xmas present from my wife and oldest son. It feels like a long time ago now, but looking now it was worth the wait!

Great day !

Today was a one-to-one with the bonsai eejit, normally I would transport all the trees to his place for the work to begain. Today was a little deferent,many of my trees needed a nudge-on. So would you beleve 23 trees got their mid summer nudge on . I have photo’s to follow, but what a great day.

 

A little trim!

This tree I have had for quiet a long time.

As you can see it loves Bio-gold.

This is after it’s trim.

 

where do I start ?

Last year I desided to sell-swap a few of my larger trees . This Larch was one.

This Scottie was another.The last tree was a hornbeam ,below this photo. The reason being, these trees are just to heavy for me to work on properly. Hope I don’t regret this !

Im back !

So glad to be back bloging again. I have alot of catching up to do but now I have my new laptop, no more excuses!

 

Shohin Itiogawa Juniper

I bought this tree at Bonsai Europa last October. It got is first reworking last week.

It needed thinned out a little and the deadwood in the trunk shown off a little more. There was a second apex on the branch to the right. I liked this but it stopped the flow of the tree too much so it was jinned.

The tree was then repotted into a nice Tom Benda pot with hardly any major root adjustments required.

Cotoneaster Repot

This is a Cotoneaster that I collected from a garden in a school probably 6-7 years ago. This was it after about a year with loads of growth.

and again after it’s first styling.

Then a few years later…

And wired again.

This was it a few weeks ago.

Rewired again..

and repotted into a Sperling Keramics pot. Should look striking with flowers and then berries with this yellow pot.

 

Clump Japanese Maple Repot

I decided to change the pot on this Maple as I wasn’t keen on the lip on the pot. I picked up the new pot from Sperling Keramics at Bonsai Europa last year. I think the new pot is a better size for the tree in Winter image. I’ll have to wait and see what’s it like in leaf.

Trident Maple Reworking

Another recent Project, the reworking of this Trident Maple.
