Just retired 3 weeks ago and have a chance to take photos of my Pyracantha showing lots of berries. They are ready for bonsai show but nothing is near in the future.
Enjoy the berries now before the birds eat them or squirrel will do damage just to pissed me off.. Fall is good time to do major shaping again and significant cutback....
Congratulations on your retirement sir! Now you'll have more time to post beautiful pictures of your trees. ;) I really like those yellow pots. I might have to do a yellow or two this weekend at my pottery class.

Just for clarification my friend...

Did you retire from your "other" job? Or your bonsai job? (Based on what I know about you I am assuming the former but we haven't talked in a while)

I haven't posted for a while but wanted to share some of my flowering Ume's and it's one of my favorites.

As always a delight to see your post! I’ve always been a sucker for the pink with white variation. Thanks friend for sharing these gorgeous little gems.

For some odd reason this is my 1st time seeing this thread

HOWEVER…

I have seen your trees before by YouTubers who go travelling and one or 2 have stopped by your house to do a video

Truly beautiful and certainly very inspiring
