Repotting - you think you've had a hard time?

[jeremy_norbury]

I've been busy repotting for what seems like weeks and according to my wife is sufficient for a divorce. Here's where we are, in no particular order...prepare yourself, there’s a LOT...(76 and another 10 or so to do...)

[Waltron]

nice trees Jerry. well done.

 

[JoeR]

How much soil do you go through a year???

 

[petegreg]

Wonderful. It reminds me the number of species kept in my collection. And then we must learn harder to make every species happy.

This year I started repotting much earlier than usually. The weather, the signs of spring... So my repotting has already been finished and the trees are waking up.

Unknown herb

Probably a Limonium spp.

Congrats for your collection, a great inspiration for me!

 

[wireme]

Good times, nice trees. I'm happy to see a nice little Alberta spruce in there, they are so often dismissed as being poorly suited for bonsai but I've always wanted to try one.

 

[jeremy_norbury]

Probably a Limonium spp.

Congrats for your collection, a great inspiration for me!

Thank you and THANK YOU! It looks to be a Limonium cordatum/cordata. I've had that damned thing for 5 years - collected off the south coast of Corsica.

 

[LanceMac10]

Phew....busy man!!
Divorce? As long as you keep the trees!!
Great work!!

 

[j evans]

Nice trees, don't know how you find the time. Thanks for taking the time to share.

[Starfox]

Wow!
Such a nice lot of trees and clearly a lot of work. Thanks for posting them as I'm sure I will be a repeat visitor to check the trees out again as well as what is to come.

 

[jeremy_norbury]

How much soil do you go through a year???

Less than you'd think. I mixed up 4 big buckets at the start of the season and I've used roughly 3. Small trees, small pots, small soil requirements...

Oh yeah... I forget how small are your trees are!

You had my attention at he second picture of the Juniper but even more when I saw the Alberta and the following Cotoneaster - plant envy sets in Now what about your other 400 or so plants?

Well, they are all awesome but the Alberta spruce, a Kung Fu Panda kind of awesomeness!
