A few update pictures from August, and last one from a few days ago!

Are those pale spots on the leaves? Almost looks like lace bug. Especially on the last picture.

 

[Deep Sea Diver]

Hmm... Check check the underside of the leaves for black specks, which would be Lace Bug larvae poop.
See images below of a severe case, top and bottom sides.
Cheers

It filled in quite nicely, check the leaves though. The last picture the leaves look stressed.

Spots could also be caused by thrips. Really depends on what pests you have in your area. There is almost always someone at your local nursery who is very good at identifying these types of problems.

Ty! I did get lace bugs (or something) last winter, so I'm sure you're all right, I'll have to treat again. I've had a bit of a break from bonsai this summer as I've been working on building a fish pond in my backyard and not so much my trees.

So you going to talk about a fish pond and not provide any pics?

I'd been wanting to do it's own thread! Was really hoping to finish all the planting first... It's 99% done. Here you go! https://www.bonsainut.com/threads/i-neglected-my-trees-this-summer.46589/

Spring is here and your azalea could be blooming (depending on your location) or starting to leaf out with this season’s flush……it’s time for updates!

I would also like to add at this time we have 3 prizes to award. Many thanks to @Forsoothe! and @Deep Sea Diver for donating. I am also donating a prize as well.

If you are no longer interested in continuing in the Azalea Contest, please let me know so we can close your thread, thanks.

No blooms yet but updates soon! Gotta work all my other trees first. Only 5 more to repot spring is tiring

 

[Pitoon]

Yeah a couple weeks ago it was really busy for me repotting my maples.

Quick update!

Flowering in late May

Before a trim last week
As of this morning, after a trim a few days ago.
