Minor pruning on this crepe myrtle, it had some weird knob at the left that I removed in favor of a new shoot.
I'll change the angle on the next repotting.

Built a Not-so-lazy-susan bonsai bench from reclaimed materials so I could better see the progress of these Siberian (?) Elms that I am hoping to make a forest of one day.
Reclaimed materials: swivel chair base, cabinet door and used hardware. The box was originally a wall shelf from our old kitchen cabinets. The Elms are all volunteers from my yard.

They are both doing well.
Cut down and got rid of extra branches on the honeysuckle. It is solid in the pot and still shows reddish color on tje leaves getting the most sun.

Maxsea for most of the trees.
While moving trees to cut the grass my beautiful partner ran over one of my hornbeam starters with the large Juniper chinensis when she was dragging it onto the patio. Good thing I found it before the lawnmower did.
I threw it in the garden next to my juniper.
I also started the ramp on the shed. Cut and stained the stringers and header. Hoping to finish tomorrow.

Put 4 air layers on a Kurenai jishi japanese maple.
How are these going? I’m looking for some photos to see what other members are doing and this is the only one here

I was expecting a "wrong answers only" so I could say it got tanned from wearing shorts.

A new kid in town...... Today I used a white pad to create this composition. The white soil is pumice. I'm unsure wether I like it or not, so maybe I'll remake it soon.

Just checking out how the apple cuttings that I took during Easter are doing. All but two produced leaves and I am happy to see some roots poking out of the basket in four of them. The thicker hardwood ones developed way better than the thinner younger ones.

A few months ago, I bought a shishigashira for 50% off because the graft was very ugly. It pushed very healthy growth, so I decided to layer the tree above the graft. Also gets rid of what I assume to be super messy nursery roots
Fingers crossed!
I wonder if it's because the thicker ones have more stored resources?

That’s my guess too.

Went for a quick look in a forest where I had chopped trees when making a Shelter with a buddy of mine about 5 years ago!
Thought I might stumble upon a regrown stub I left there unconscious I was maybe trunk chopping for bonsai lol
Here is what I found!
Don’t know what will become of the second « tree » growing from the same root base at the extreme right of the picture though hmmm…

Bonsai Demo at our states bonsai show today.
What to make of this?
Nope. Not a cascade. Let's make it something else altogether!
Now let it age

I have this ash tree in my yard that can handle a bunch of abuse and comes back for more! Its been trunk chopped twice and dug up and roots pruined twice too I think (last spring for sure). Just pruned back all the new branches for backbudding purposes, except for the new leader today. I don’t have a good photo but the roots do flare at the bottom thankfully and doesnt have inverse taper the way it looks in the photo. It was a sapling little yardadori I started in spring 2020.

I did minor work on a London plane today and I was surprised that most of the leaves stayed fairly small. Last season they were the size of my hand.
