Just acquired a Bougi from my friend Joe at Artisans Bonsai Tampa. He suggested a style, defoliate and repot this beautiful creation.

Nice....
These are that good if we want them to be!
Here's to the "hot boys/gals".

I got a really nice parrots beak from them. Is Stacy still working there?

Make sure you note what the roots look like when you take them out of the pond baskets. Please send me pix.
I kind of hate you that your trees are outside and there are green trees in the background, but not your fault I live in a weather hellhole. Very pretty.
My plants and I will be hating you back this summer when we are in our 4th straight week of triple digits this summer so its all good!

I gotta 24" Stihl Farm Boss, good mid-range saw.
Great for camping, over kill for around the house.
I know you probably play with some big boy saws!

When I have to use a saw anymore,it's to cut down trees too large for my feller buncher. 26 inch diameter and up.
We carry 2 saws in the truck for that. A Husqvarna 372xp with a big bore kit and 24 inch bar.
For the monster trees we have the Husqvarna 3120xp stick with a 36 inch bar. Its basically a 120cc dirt bike engine on it.
There isn't a tree in Michigan that I couldn't put on its side with that saw.
The drawback to these saws is they kick your ass carrying them all day. I just spent Thursday and Friday cutting down mammoth oaks. I'll be glad to climb back up in my machine tomorrow!
I turned 54 in January and I'm not liking saws too much anymore.

I run around in the woods with a Stihl 261C with an 18” bar. The land owner restricts the bar size, so we do not go crazy cutting trees. It gets pretty heavy after chopping up 20+ trees to firewood size in a day.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

He mentioned that summer is a good time to repot the Bogi, I don’t recall if total defoliation is required when removing root work for repot.
I have repotted in summer, without defoliating, but didn't do much to the roots. @milehigh_7 could give you the best advice on that.

The only ones I did not defoliate died. Like I say, I remove about 85-90% of the roots when I do it. I did over 50 of them last summer. Three died.
