"Say Hello to my little friend"

I’ve been working on getting my Boxwood from 4 feet to about 18 inches and into a much smaller pot.

Nice progression. Love the first one! My Junipers have a long way to go.

Sorry I completely forgot...Posting two to compensate for the error.:
This is a bougie I dug from my garden...I grew it from a cutting.
The slanting one is just a cutting I chopped from the upright tree, last year.
Base of the larger one is over 15 cm and height around 40 at the moment after some serious branch reduction.
The two branches above the chop are to heal it.

I spent no less than a few hours looking at all the awesome pictures in this thread, this rule should exist for every thread...

Here is an elm I just repotted the other day, was wondering what it was for a long time until the repot when I found the classic white stick in the dirt plastic sign saying ulmus parviflora coricosa.

How do you get those pots in the back to hover like that? Hahaha.
My Eastern White Pine. Not quite 10" tall. Getting new unglazed rectangle pot this year.

Those are my orchids...They have a wire behind and a nail on the wall fence. Waw! That is a cute pine.
Now I have to post something.
I styled today my two chilly papers, and my neighbor phoned me to go and dig some more.
My neighbors within 2km radius are well trained...They dont dig anything unless they call me first.

I think I posted this wisteria last year, but here is the update this year. Repotted it with new planting angle a week or so ago, and it looks like the rot that I experienced after collection has finally stopped so I can start carving it a bit. Now hopefully I'll start getting flowers in the upcoming years.

Total size with pot is about 6' in height - a bit of a backbreaker :(

My chojubai are looking very weird...
here is a ROR unstyled that never stops flowering and has amazing bark.

1798107_10201404127657180_9055023971737347452_n.jpg

1452047_10200722576258821_940162136_n.jpg

And this one:
This chojubai looks like exposed root but is actually 5 trunks fused with some roots exposed. I still think I need to thicken the trunk and roots a bit more. I wired it but did not chop anything yet. I left the extensions of the trunks to grow as sacrifice branches. Just gave direction to the branches I would like to keep. The trunks are somewhat fused, but I tied them in few places to fuse some more. Also some of them will need to develop branches withing the canopy I want so they can be chopped later.

before and after:
