Girard Rose Azalea I bonsai'd today. (Is "bonsai'd" grammatically correct? I'm tired right now so my thoughts aren't together.) Many accidents happened while trying to wire this tree. I have found that Rhododendrons are stiff and easily snap when you are trying to wire them. I have many other projects going on at the moment I hope to work on for many years to come.

Yes, you really can't wire lignified azalea. Wire the new shoots that are still green. They'll lignify in about 6 weeks and you can remove the wire. Then cut back and let it grow out again. Wire again. Remove wire. Cut back. Let it grow out again...
Once fall comes, remove wire for winter.
Broom style Zelkova just starting to bud out.

Very cool and unusual Elm. I must say I really liked the before version too.

White pine. More disorderly looking in the pic than in person. Prob in need of a prune this fall. A little kiyohime in development for a few years with problematic lines. And an azalea i repotted that probably needs more thinning on the bottom based off this pic. Funny how stuff hits you in pics but not when the tree is in front of you.
Holy crap! What a magnificent plant! Please document progression on this beautiful specimen tree. I could never afford anything that nice but would love to see and live it through you.
Thanks ahead of time for sharing.

Leonard

Chicago, your really putting together some sweet trees. Mostly Junipers still? Any plans for other species?
Here is the first tree I ever collected (spring 14') , a Larch, just wired last night, a few stray branches still need some wire.

A larch is high on my list to add in the future. Chances are if I can keep up my current pace of study, I'll add a new species in 3-4 yrs. I still want to push the junipers currently on the bench.

3 years in the making. Now the foundation is set, this year I'm hoping to myriad backbuds will start to fill this tree out.
