[Carol 83]

Repotted my oleanders. This is not really a bonsai project, I am just torturing them because they are too big. They bloomed and set seeds this year. Would not it be cool if white and pink semi double cross pollinated? Just don't have bandwidth to do it all. Roots and limbs hacked off. There should have enough time to regrow neoprene they come inside.

I once took a cutting from a single flowered Oleander and when it bloomed it was a double.

I rescued this slab from the parking lot at work.

 

[KateM]

And a bower vine Pandorea jasminoides, I grew it from seeds @August sent me in exchange for hairy pepper seeds - capsicum pubescens.
Had to cut it out of the pot...

 

[Cajunrider]

Pruning my little 3 inch Chinese elm Mame back to its intended size.

I need a smaller and shallow pot to show off the radial nebari I have been working on.

 

[Weta]

Finished my first wooden planter.
Made out of timber from an old BBQ frame.
Got a Jade trunk screaming for a better pot than a polystyrene tub.
Its rather shallow but lessons learned for future projects.

Took wire off,

put wire on,

fertilized everything,


Cleaned the weeds and did some Pine design pondering.


& pruned some branches on my shohin Barbados cherry.

I trunk chopped this small cherry in 2023. I got it from Wiegerts in 2022. Pic from when it arrived.




Today.


Took about 6 branches off. I'm going to let it heal and check out the back budding. That big one on the right needs to come off too.

Tried to capture a shot of the different colors on this porcelain berry.

Kate, I remember reading somewhere that they are poisonous but don't remember how and how bad.. so just be careful

Beautiful pots. Do you sell many?

Really bad when ingested.
Sap is an irritant when touched.

Did some more garden cleanup today, not with any of the trees. The previous owners of this home did not have a green thumb. They put down close to 1000 square feet of landscaping cloth in 2 layers and didn't plant anything. I've been experimenting with garden bed arrangements and moved some stones around for the first one. At least all the crap that was laying on the cloth can become good compost over the fall. All the extra brown without grass is the old bed line.

Thanks. I am aware. You need to eat them, which I don't.
They are pretty much all over Mediterranean as pretty street plantings.

Thank you. I sold a couple, traded a couple, but I am not in a business mode yet. That whole side of it rather scares me...

 

[leatherback]

Wired some small oaks..

 

[Michigan Tree Murderer]

Repotted the last two Tropical plants that needed it. Then I cleaned, sharpened, & oiled my most used tools. Now I'm off to nick my BC scars.

 

[leatherback]

My little olive clump got some fresh substrate today

 

[19Mateo83]

I wired some movement into the princess persimmons I got from @bwaynef

Impressive! I love the last one!

 

[Cajunrider]

Clean up the yard and created big BC avenue with bigguns on both sides. 3 big BCs were moved out of back porch to full sun. Now I have a tiny bit of wiggle room on the porch.
