I separated elm layered from the forest. It's about 1,5 meters high.

I heard Walter Pall say several times that, in his opinion, literati are sort of naturalistic trees. During the workshop with him, when he was standing next to a pine tree which Andrija Zokic later styled, I asked him why he thinks so. You can find some of his ideas about literati in this video...

Definitely not tilia cordata Google says it is Triadica sebifera

Tried hardwood cuttings and always failed. Did air layering, and it worked well. If you have some tree where you can secure layering bag on good spot, you can have couple of inches thick tree in few weeks.

Impressive dimensions already, taking into account starting point. Good luck.

Maple from my first air layer. Few wires set bones.

Impressive development. How wide is the base of the tree now?

Lucky you. That tree is massive; it could have caused a lot more damage. Personally, would curse as a sailor at my neighbour being it were my situation.

This is an interesting thought line for me. A lot of us think about achieving desired results with our trees either fast or possible within a single person's lifetime. And we compare our trees to products of 2-3 generations of work on asian trees. If we accept that, due to age or health...

Both coruns species grown in my garden (mas and sanquinea) are reducing leaves quite significantly. Pictures are at least a month old, the color change was even stronger later.

Cornus sanquinea from cuttings, a few years in making, approximately 4-5. Great color of the trunks, and foliage, foliage is tiny compared to mature trees. Cuttings were stuck into a container, surprisingly survived, and as they were together, I transferred them into a cheap Chinese pot for...

Thanks, Clem. Neither Jennifer's trees were easy. A lot of work, tedious wiring, and tough design decisions. Those kinds of trees are causing a lot of controversy, but this kind of material is exactly what she is looking for. And she puts a lot of energy into styling. Regarding Andija Zokic...

So, here is the summary of all trees we filmed during the Masterclass with Walter Pall in Bonsai Moravia nursery of Lukas Sirotny two weeks ago. Each tree has its own video. You may find information there interesting, a lot of discussions about the initial styling of the yamadori material, about...

Good to hear. Few more in the pipeline. Which tree made the best impression on you so far?

Pot is from Luboš Škoda. Roots will improve over time. Still under construction, for the past 15 years. It is my maple number 1, so it is going with me though all ups and downs.

A couple of autumn pictures

Maple with peak autumn colors.

I'm not sure if I understand your question correctly. But from my perspective, generally, more movement is better than no movement in branching. And tapering in branches is very hard to build subsequently when the branch is already too long. You can change the initial diameter of the branch with...

European hornbeam/ Carpinus betulus with a little bit of autumn colors. Not all hornbeams show me anything, at least this level of colors.

thanks for your compliments.

Faced a similar scenario with Arakawa two years ago. I stored them in the garage, on the window. Cool but not freezing, a lot of light. Four out of 12 survived. Also stored a lot of not potted cuttings rooted in plastic boxes in a dark, cold cellar, temperatures above zero all the time, no...

It is just a garden center plant purchased a few years back. I saw it flowering in the shop and I just couldn't resist. The tree was originally in an extremely large pot (30-40L), now in this pot temporarily. I'm thinking about repotting it into a much smaller, round pot next spring. Here are a...
