There are a group of cork elms popped up in my garden.
Yesterday I dug them up and put them into the plastic pot for training. I plan to create 3 trunk bonsai. I used a piece of Japanese boxwood deadwood to separate 2 big trunks
The young bark of cork elm should have this look

I love to look at this trident maple!

and this flowering plum. I feel bad for this tree because it does not have many flowers this year! I did not change its soil for 8 years! Shame on me! I plan to transplant it this time, but I have no more available room in recovery area!
However, I am still enjoying its flower.

That is an interesting trident as it puts out spring leaves with much color! Mine is just green when opening. And that big cork elm is really something.
Very pretty bloom on the plum, almost orchid like.

Yes, it is. This tree had been grown in my teacher's garden for over 20 years!
The last year leaf.

The Trident trunk looks like it met up with a buck deer in the garden. I have several trees like that around my house on the acreage. Not so many since i put up the fence. Gives a very natural deadwood look however it happened. Love the color on those new leaves.

Thanks. I don't think dead wood is due to buck deer, since my teacher home is in urban area. However, his yard is full of chickens, turkeys and ducks!The Trident trunk looks like it met up with a buck deer in the garden. I have several trees like that around my house on the acreage.

For some reasons, I have kept looking this TM every day! It is this morning. I really like its young leaves.
The seedling TM has blue young leaves as JudyB's statement.

I want to share with you how to train the pomegranate from junk! This tree starts pushing out a lot of new shoots at this time.

and this pomegranate.
1st stage of training is removal all of unnecessary branches and keeps some of them in the same places. Put initial wiring. Then wait!.
Of course, it needs lot of fertilizers, sunlight. Water as needed.

I had to get new supply this morning. It is twine to stabilize the tree in the pot.
This afternoon, I transplanted 4 trees! I used akadama: pumice: lava cinder/fir ground: mini pine barks with ratio 1:2:1/2:2
Early flowering peach. There is still one flower bud left over.

and flowering plum. It has few flowers now, but I still wants to transplant it.
