That's looking sweet Bri!

Princess persimmon paired with a Japanese white pine. Despite I have no male persimmon it is still able to produce quite a bit of fruit. Working on a better stand for it.

Nice winter view!
@Paulpash , is the mesh over the pots to avoid birds?

And that BRT down below, has been worked with the clip&grow technique - which means no wire scars at all.

Nice. How was the rootball quality on the Piñon? I’ve found that the rootball being intact is crucial for piñon collection.

Didn’t post a pic.

This little JBP was purchased in a garden sale for 3€, 7 years ago.
After some TLC it's becoming a nice shohin, still in a training pot.
One of the things that attracted me lately is the scar lip coming over the deadwood, enveloping it.
It's cool.

It didn't have many roots to begin with, so not the greatest rootball. Really hoping the tree pulls through though.

Norway Spruce, hope I can keep this one alive

Sabina juniper, just wired. I think I have to rotate it clockwise a little bit to make the second trunk more visible.

I’m a fan of wiring junipers most times of the year, but winter is def my least favorite. Next time, I’d consider wiring at the beginning, middle or nearing the end of the growing season. This way, if you get any tears, bark slippage or remove a lot of foliage, the tree has time to regain vigor before shutting down for the winter. If you’d o wire this time of year, best to keep it in a green house or other protected environment.
