At least now you’re playing by the rules. You weren’t asking about my soil mix anyway. RMJ grafted with Itoigawa.

I assume this is a RMJ you collected. When were the grafts done and how long do you think until it will be before it's first styling?
Blue Atlas Cedar with new scion grafts earlier this spring.

Yes, I collected it in 2013, and grafted the right side in 2015, and left side in 2019.
Still Changing Clothes, RMJ to Itoigawa
Over four years ago, I started grafting Itoigawa cuttings into this collected RMJ. Since the first attempt failed, I have been very reluctant to cut the roots, even though I suspect the grafts have…

Ground layer on a maple to create a double trunk tree (I think it's Katsura). Netting to stop the damn birds stealing the sphagnum on top. Nothing will be pruned this year and I'm just gonna leave the graft to run too.

Hornbeams are nototious porkers, they like to be fed a lot and watered a lot more than a lot of trees. Ignore those two facts and hour hornbeam may crash.

Update after thread graft, time to thin and defoliate the entry side to promote faster growth on the exit side and subsequent extension! Reduce top growth and encourage lower branches! Two pictures, before and after!

Pinus Sylvestris 'Gold Medal' with a cedum accent. I got this tree about a year and a half ago as nursery stock. I did a little work to it and liked how it was looking. Last fall the club that I'm a member of, Puget Sound Bonsai Association, had a bring your own tree night for members to get help from fellow members with more experience. Since I'm pretty new I was excited to bring a few trees. This was one of the trees that I bought. Well I was pleasantly surprised when found out that Mr David De Groot was in attendance and would be flouting around the room talking with people about their trees. When he came by he took the time to talk to me about a direction to take my tree and help with some branch selection, I ended up removing about 40 to 50% including a major branch that gave it a slingshot look. Then he said "wire it up while I help others", so I wired as quickly as I think I'd ever wired while trying to do a good job. I finished just as the meeting was clearing out and to my luck Mr De Groot was still there and took the time to help me place the branches. He was a very gracious gentleman who was extremely giving of his skilled time. It will need to be repotted, maybe next spring. I'll start looking for a pot.

This is a Larch forest I put together last spring (2019) with Larch I had collected two years previously (2017). Im planning on adding a tree on the bottom left that leans out toward the left. Also, planning another forest planting with some interesting Larch I have collected for next spring.
