Good list. Thanks for taking the time and sharing.

Wow! Now that is quite a compilation, must have taken some time.

This could lead to hours of good browsing

For the past several years I've been compiling progressions that have been helpful to me. Typically I'm looking for good photo documentation of bonsai transformations, with descriptions of how/what/when. Thanks for all that have helped me put this list together - hopefully it's a useful resource!

Hi,
Fantastic list, great to have all this in one place.
I wonder/hope if you can add this to the Resources section of the website, so it can be more permanent tan on a thread that might get lost etc.
Thank you for taking the time and effort.

@Bonsai Nut maybe can help? I’m not sure the best place to keep it on the forum. Thanks!

palafr01 · Aug 9, 2022

@MHBonsai I think you should add @Brian Van Fleet's Gingko from seed thread to this list. Although Brian's thread doesn't include pictures for the very early stages of development, Brian's ginkgo is easily one of the best here on Bnut. The thread also features a wealth of good information for anyone who wants to grow ginkgoes from seed especially since they grow so slowly.

Here's the link to the thread: https://www.bonsainut.com/threads/ginkgo-from-seed.13070/

Great work, hope you keep doing updates (and post a reply so I can get a notification).

KiwiPlantGuy · Aug 19, 2022

Hi all,
So I hope @MHBonsai is happy for this to happen, didn’t ask before sorry. But I have copied and pasted all of the above progression threads in to a resource article for all to view. Hopefully this can be added to in time.
