I just wanted to wish my extended family, here, at BNut, a very Merry Christmas.

I prepped a few of my trees today for my club's fall show. If you are in the Mobile, AL area tomorrow, stop by the West Mobile Regional Library and say hello and see some of Mobile's finest bonsai. @Hartinez , the stand is great!

A few weeks ago, I got this maple from @Vin . It is awesome. Today I finally had chance to take a good look at it and start formulating a plan for it.

I am not real sure why they call this one tiger barked, the image that the name conjures up in mind is immediately dashed on the rocks of reality when you peer at it. There really is nothing tigery about it... It belonged to my mother in law, and I took it over when she passed away. Today it...

I have this picture plant that I use as an accent for my bald cypress. It decided to bloom this weekend, when everything else is struggling with the 100+ heat, it decided to put on a show.

My club, Azalea City Bonsai Society, had a fall show on October 15, here are a few of the trees that I displayed: Big Foot's first Show: Procumbus Nana}: Ilex: Ficus Neriflora: Picture Plant Accent: Bals Cypress:

Since I cannot find the thread where I first posted this, I figured I would start a new one. It was time for a late summer trim for Big foot. Before: This is the time of year when knees grow the most and the trunk really bulks up. After:

Bonsai shops or scenes in Dallas, Texas? I am gonna be in town this evening through Friday attending a safety conference.

Local pick up only, and yes, I said "monkey nuts". I apologize to any simiens who might have been perusing Bnut and read that title and got offended. Well I needed a large pot for Clumpy, my bald cypress clump. So I found one on amazon, of all places, and ordered it, it is a 24" oval. I took...

I started this one as a cutting a few years ago and have been working on getting the roots and flare looking good. As you can see, it (the bark) has already started corking up.

OK, I realized when I was preparing this post that I was willy-nilly posting elm shot and did not name the threads in a way that I could easily update. This one is Shohin size, and while it survived in the tiny shallow pot that I had put it in, I felt that it needed a little more to thrive, so...

I don't know if I have posted this one here before, but it is my other flying dragon. It was grown from seed by my dad, just like the other that is posted here, my dad has two green thumbs and can grow anything. I got this one as a 6 inch seedling. An interesting note about growing them from...

Well, I had a few seedlings, so I wanted to create something that you don't see all the time out of a BC. You know, the usual informal upright or the telephone pole with an osprey nest at the top standing in for a flat top. So, I bent a little movement into the seedling and I also screwed it...

And a few camellia flowers...

I have had this orange for a very long time, it was started from a cutting that I got from ebay years ago, probably 20 years ago. I wired it out today. One thing to note, orange wood is very hard. It is not brittle so the branches doesn't snap easily, but man, is it hard to move.

I managed to build these earlier in the summer, finally, no more cinder blocks

Since we are social distancing, I took the opportunity to drink some beer and trim and repot this azalea. I don't know the cultivar, it has hose in hose red flowers and really dark green foliage. It is also one of the first azaleas that I started trying to bonsai. It has suffered greatly, but...

Just repotted and trimmed ready for a new season of growth. I have more pictures available, PM me. These are really large, so local pick up only.

I grew this from a cutting, and have been working on it for a while. It has been a challenge as I have found that it seems to be highly susceptible to fungus infections. It is real shaggy now, just letting it grow out to develop some branching.

I don't know if I started a thread on this one and I am too lazy to search for it, so hee's a new post. It got a repot and some new shoes yesterday and I got to use some power tools, too!

I have had this one in the ground next to the benches for a few years and decided to dig it up today, it was knida in the way. I think it might make a nice tree one day.

No pictures of trees this time, just a heart felt wish from me and Mrs. Mullet that 2020 is super happy for all of you! John

The wind finally blew most of the leaves from most of my trees. I thought I would share a few of my BCs. The clump is developing some nice knees.

MERRY CHRISTMAS YOU NUTS!

So, today my club, The Azalea City Bonsai Society, had its Fall show. Just wanted to share the trees that I took to display. First is this boxwood, there is a thread on it here: https://www.bonsainut.com/threads/boxwood-repot-and-a-new-pot.18122/ Then these two Illex, thread here...
