Sorry for a title, but it's how it is. I'll start with my oldest Chinese elm. Mallsai... couldn't find a way to use this ugly trunk. So went ahead and did this this spring. Last week these were ready to be separated. I love manual works! ... checking roots and potting. And this is what...

Playing with this little CJ, bought a year ago labeled as J. chinensis. Other eshops listed the trees from the same batch as J. sargentii. But looking at the Sargent juniper thread I'm sure this is some Chinese juniper variety, no one I can see offered here is labeled shimpaku... Foliage is a...

I don't want to steal anyone's thread, so starting this. This is my young A.p. 'Arakawa' acquired two years ago. On the first year it was repotted, better said slip-potted to bigger pot. The substrate is just a piece of stone and that time I didn't have time to do it better. I tried two...

I'm a satisfied user of Kaneshin bonsai tools, black steel ones. But as a curious human being I was interested in how good can stainless steel tools be. So last year I bought few ss Ryuga tools, didn't want to mix apples and pears and left them put on the shelf. It means they are my first choice...

Last year in november I purchased this JWP "Glauca" cultivar online. It was in good state, wired in the winter to open the foliage slightly and just few yellow needles were removed. I think it spent winter well. The tree is approximately 1,2 ft tall. This picture was taken today, after...
