these are more like siblings than twins, but whatever

boxwood that was gifted to me
natural raft honeysuckle, another gift.

scots pine collected last fall. I dug up 6 of these of varying sizes, three I planted in front of my house. One didn't make it.

Good work 10, learning to wire will rock your bonsai world.
If that is a tie down wire on your larch be careful that it doesn't dig in and girdle the tree.

Wow, weve been at it the same amount of time, and we both dove in to the deep end! Since Im in the tropics my trees are local or naturalized or imported. So my ficus collection is getting outa hand with no more room. Anyway, nice trees! I like the tamarack a lot, not many bonsais are so tall. So I hope we both stick to it! Theres lots to learn and we cant learn it all. But we can try!

Nice collection it seems in ten months we have all been busy. I started in August as well and it changed my life.

Thanks! I quite like the big Tamarack too; picked it up at the ABS show for $55 and put it in that brown pot i had lying around.
I think having local species is cool. Joining a club has helped me learn a lot.

Make as many cuttings as you can and start ground growing things. If you throw 30 rooted cuttings in the ground now, you'll thank yourself in 3+ years.

I haven't had any luck with cuttings thus far. I suspect not enough humidity. I'll keep trying!

Hey! Good to see the larch and boxwood are still doing well!

And the burning bush too, didn't have a recent pic of that one.

Almost forgot this juniper. It could probably use some attention.

Nice collection, You have enough trees that you will always have something that needs to be done. Good start. Many start with too few, and over work their trees to death. You are skipping that mistake, Nice.
