Thanks Carol, these have to be protected in winter here, no outdoor trees. But they are available in bonsai shops.

I've never seen any around here. You can find them online, but from some less reputable sources. Very pretty and delicate. I'll just enjoy yours!

Hey Mellow Mullett, the top one looks like it might be Sakuragata. Does it have that bloom pattern over the entire tree? Also, your satsukis appear to be blooming way early. I have 2 Sakuragata, they've been around 25 years or so. When mine bloom, i'll take a few pics and maybe compare, they'are not showing any signs of bloom yet, just starting the prebloom growth .

Another hibiscus happy to look at winter from the inside.

Hey @Carol 83 or other folks, I have a hibiscus to repot/reduce this spring. Any tips as to how to approach reducing roots? Merci beaucoup!

You know I haven't been at this very long, but I was inspired by a hibiscus that @Stickroot did. I usually just let my patio hibiscus die and buy new in the spring, so I figured might as well try. I was pretty brutal with the roots, and cut the branches way back. The pictures are from last fall, when I did it. But it back budded like crazy, and is growing well. I will take a current picture when I get home from work. It needs another big trim, the leaves aren't really reducing. But I want to see it bloom first . Not really bonsai, but a fun little project. Hope this helps.

Can anyone identify this species? Seems to be some type of apricot or plum tree?

Thank you!

Looks like Plum to me. https://qjphotos.wordpress.com/2010/03/22/cherry-blossoms-vs-plum-blossoms/

Thanks for the link, Vin!

I have a plum tree in my yard and the trunk looks a lot like yours. But Prunus are not all that easy to identify for me so wait to here from others before you call it.

I don't remember, Vin. There is Amelia Rose and Amy Lee, one is pink and the other is lavender. I don't remember which is which, I'll ask my dad, he knows.
