BIG & small

[M. Frary]

Smallest I have. Kingsville Boxwood about 9"" tall.

Gmelinas

Small with measurements for Neli,

and what the one in the golden orange pot became.
Celadon pot is 10 cm [ 4"] wide.
The shrub is produced more new shoots, and getting even denser in leaf/branch.

Rob,

Just FYI that is not a Tonka toy there with it and this is not a shohin. LOL

(run and hides)

Pretty much my smallest- a Palmatum unknown dwarf variety
Pretty much my biggest- a Rocky Mountain Juniper.

This is a classic example of rotating the tree to find something totally different. The one pic looks like a skinny, lanky tree. Then rotate it to the second pic and it has a ancient, sturdy look to it. Nice tree.

I myself was in awe once the angle shifted...and one noticed the sturdy,ancient tree as you already described! Then with the 4 wheeler next to it...most set a water bottle or can beside theirs. Lol I went back through and looked at the photos again.

Great little sierra! Are you going back for that little curly one on your blog?

Thanks Dan! I may, but Im hesitant with California junipers growing in their desert enviornment. I don't get that mat of fine feeder roots like I do up in the Sierra where I get a very high survival rate. I have a friend that has a very good survival rate with CA junipers, he has a really nice misting set up and a nice structure. I might see if he's be willing to keep it after collecting.

Here are a hornbeam next to a kotohime maple. Nearly the largest and smallest leaves too.

RIP to the serissa trunk in front of the hornbeam

Here are the smallest and largest shimpakus on my benches.
Small is in a 12" pot, large is in a 24" pot, and just beginning it's bonsai journey.

 

[dpowell]

Here's my biggest currently, if it survives I'll try and get a better picture. It's the same tree, just opposite sides. The trunk is about 13" (33cm) across at the wide point. With a 500ml bottle for scale.

This is the maximum size range on my bonsai tables.

The Big one (Podocarpus) has a 9-inch base. The Little one (Ligustrum) sits in a pot with a bit less than 2-inch diameter.

Unfortunately, I can no longer lift (or even move) the large one so we're going to have to part ways soon.

 

[Neli]

My biggest and some of my smallest bonsai. Still unstyled.

 

[brewmeister83]

Biggest piece of material I have so far...

Lonicera raft in a 4' x 2' box. Carving & training to begin next season... I'm trying to get permission to collect one next year though that'll make this one look tiny.

How long have you had the big guy? I am sure it will be a very hard day...when you part ways. Is that the inevitable with bonsai?

I dug him up in S. Florida about 10 years ago. It's at least 80 years old (that's when the house it was planted beside was built).

The only inevitability is that I've grown too old and ill to handle trees this large. And it'll go to a good home.

The pic is my now-12-year-old granddaughter, who was less-than two at the time, standing beside the newly dug tree.

That photo is priceless...your granddaughter was preciously adorable to I must add. Goodness...it was huge back 10 years ago!
