I will post pictures here of the trees I've owned as I run across them, for anyone interested.

I really like the Ponderosa - that's a nice one.

Here's one I bought from Don and after i cleaned it up a little. A plug for my buddy Don,about two thirds of my bonsai collection came from Don Blackmond, one of the good guys. After further work, I raised the tree a little and the nebari filled the pot from one end to the other.

Thanks Harry.
I appreciate the pictures, it gives me something to aim for.

I regret not seeing this RMJ styled, if any of you buy this tree from Don, I would love to see it styled, it has great potential for a small RMJ.

I love Kotobuki's, this one is mine, easy to keep the needles short, I had three. I bought this one from Don then sold it back to him.

Nice trees are easy to find, all you need is a spare bedroom like this.

A Kotobuki is a JBP that has natural needles 3/4- 1-1/2 " long, very easy to maintain. Don Blackmond usually has a good selection for sale. My three Kotobuki's.

When you repot a pine, this is what you want to see.

All of this seems to be in the past tense. Are you not doing bonsai anymore?

Sometimes yes and other times no. This time of year I don't miss taking them in and out of my shade house, the large ones were heavy. The shade cloth on my shade house saved my butt on this occasion.
