B&B Hinoki

This is such a great progression thread and a great tree! I love it with the eggshell and the sempervirens.
Nice work with that bargain 'mistake' tree

Thank you for saying!

Unfortunately the Larch progression is def not mine. I’ve always wanted to give larch a try but do not own one.

lol embarrassing, you’re totally right, I confused you with another user. But I still love your work!

Not embarrassing at all! An easy mix up. Thank you!

How’s tree doing. Like your progression thread here. Recently picked up one and was thinking of doing some deadwood on it but don’t see many with deadwood however have not seen tons of examples in general of Hinoki bonsai.

Tree is doing well. Though I did have some foliage dieback over the winter. I think my second pinch last season was later than I should have.

I also re-potted, which I’m not in love with its current iteration. The tree def does not take advantage of the height its scale. The rock it’s in is way too big.

I need to decide how to handle the pot situation.

I also need to completely h wire and re-wire the tree, possibly jinning several branches.

Here it is none the less.

Looking good thanks for the update. Have you continued to open up deadwood on trunk or kind of once and done thing you did?

 

[Hartinez]

im strongly considering opening up this tree much more. Jinning multiple branches.

kind of like this. I do recognize this is a completely different variety.

 

[Hartinez]

I also think this tree just needs to live in a far more traditional pot for awhile

I think that's the way to go, but there's no harm in continuing to develop the existing branches. It'll give more complexity to the jins of the future.

Wow, what a cool project! I really like what you did with the deadwood on the trunk. I definitely think adding more jin would help tie the whole composition together and convey more age.

Agreed. I’m going to mull it over more and more before making any big changes

I hope to do similar to yours with deadwood in trunk. Here is my inspiration photo.
