Bonsaidoorguy's little Christmas tree entry.

Summer update. The juniper is putting out new growth after a little rehab, whew. The stone pine is doing good, still going for adult foliage.

Winter update. They're doing well and starting to shape up a little.

Well my stone pine didn't make it, not sure what happened,it just slowly died. I guess that means that this is my entry. Pinching the growth to create pads. I'm liking it.

Too bad. The stone pine was looking good. Nice job on the runner-up too!

Shame about the stone pine. I’ve found them to be freakishly strong. I have one that I pinch like a spruce and it backbuds like crazy. This year I pinched it 3 times, and it just kept pushing.

We are coming closer to the end of the Little Christmas Tree contest. Final photos should be posted in your individual threads, and will be voted on by the general membership starting on April 30.

Time to start thinking about your repotting, final design, wiring, pruning and generally getting the trees in shape for the contest!
