I have a ponderosa that I'm thinking of grafting JBP onto as well. Just out of curiosity, what kind of JBP material did you use? The ponderosa bark is dark grey, but most JBPs that I've seen have brown bark.
Please post some of your trees... :)

That hurts Dario. Did you only thank people that fight with you?
There, I hi-lited it for you.
How many members does this forum have again?

All are very nice esp the K. hornbeam, JBP and the neglected JWP. I wish some of my neglected trees will be half as nice.

I never had a chinese elm before last fall. the big guy is standard and little guy is Corkbark
As you can tell both "under construction"
Between the two...somehow, I like the little guy more.

We need to see the trunk my friend.
You & me both. Trust me there's one under there. I'm just waiting for some consistently warm nights (which won't be long now) to before I dig into several of my trees. Then I'll prune this one very hard and probably bare-root it. Then I'll look for the planting angle. Sam's Bougie threads here are inspiring.

This tree is no where near what it is going to be after I get another shot at it this coming summer.

"Free is mostly worth what you paid for it..." is wrong in this case!
I agree!!!

Just regular japanese black pine. It all turns black once it is old anyway

Nice Pot
Brian the pot that the first JBP is in is incredible. I love the coloring. Very excellent trees too.

I don't have anything very impressive, but I wanted to share something I'm working on. It's a ficus burtt-davyi that's had a couple setbacks as I've learned how to take care of it, but I think it will start to look decent once it's outside this summer instead of indoors under my shop light.
It looks very feminine now, but I'm going to try to let it grow freely to fatten it up more then cut it back.

I believe so too. My tropicals are deteriorating inside the garage...that is why I try to bring them out whenever possible. Hopefully in 2 more weeks, they will be permanently out. (wishful thinking?
LOL)

Same here. The burtt-davyi I posted is probably the only one putting on growth without getting leggy or large leafed. I have a microcarpa I'm growing out with absolutely huge leaves on it. If it doesn't drop them when I put it out in the spring it will have a lot of energy to devote to putting on size.

Alright, I'll post a few for you, Dario. I've been "doing" bonsai for about 3 years so most of my stuff is also in the early development stages.
1. Boxwood, the first "bonsai" I acquired from a workshop...learning a lot from working with it. Photo June 2012.
2. Willow leaf ficus, trunk has a large scar (barely visible under foliage mass). Branching is awkward, a couple of straight branches off lower trunk and a bunch of smaller branches at top. Came (via ebay) with few roots so I've just been letting it grow and establish. Photo November 2012.
3. Willow leaf ficus, another one that I've been allowing to establish though this one came with a better root system. Photo November 2012.
4. Camellia...can't find a good shot from the front but this gives an idea. Tough plant to keep healthy so far, especially in this climate. I hope I can get it figured out because I really love camellias...Photo December 2012.
5. Korean Hornbeam...this one looks very similar to one that was posted recently. Nice old trunk (bark doesn't show here) but it was weak when I got it (for almost nothing). Some branches died after repotting (lowest left branch and some others on the left side of the top). Has really nice fall color. I don't really like the way the previous owner had styled the branches and am not sure what I'm going to do with it. Photo December 2012.
