Liken the lichen!

Here one a little different for me: Ume.

Before and After.
The plan is to carve down the deadwood on the left.

 

[Brian Van Fleet]

Cool ume!

Mama red chojubai quince...a new edition for me.

 

[Dav4]

Baby red chojubai quince...

 

[AboveBeyond]

Nice Chojubai Dav. I wonder how long mine will take to get a trunk of that size.

I wish I new...I'm new to the chojubai rage. The two baby reds are 10-20 year projects I suspect.

that juni has some really nice shape Dave.
This is a satsuki I got about 2 years ago. Just came into bloom this week.

 

[Dav4]

Beautiful flowers there. This one is just past full bloom and heavy rains forecast for later today will put an end to the show for this year.

 

[lordy]

That's a giant Dave! Feel free to ship to me when you get tired of it next week.. ;o)

Here is a chunky Chinese Elm. A bit difficult to see the canopy well... First shot from when I got it in 2011.

 

[lordy]

last one for a minute...Kingsville after a west coast master hacked it maybe 4 years ago, and again this spring. Coming along, but damn they grow slowly.

 

[Brian Van Fleet]

Chojubai sportin' a couple blooms.

 

[fredtruck]

Cork bark JBP 'Ondae,' with some new candles coming on.

 

[BMV Bonsai]

Here is a Shohin seiju elm. It stands about 7 inches tall. Still needs to thicken the second branch to the left, that's why I kept it a bit leggier.

 

[Dav4]

The "Lazarus" zelkova...

 

[Vance Wood]

Hinoki Cypress still under construction. This is the same Hinoki I have had since 1996 where it was used as a demonstration tree for our summer club show.

 

[Vance Wood]

The latest reconstruction of the Zombi Mugo. Long way to go but I believe it is now well directed, and the methods for repotting have been determined. Nursery tree purchased as one of my first Mugo adventures in 1985.

 

[coh]

Nice to see this thread revived. Particularly interested in seeing the progress on that ume.

Since I have to post something...recent photo of a water jasmine that I'm struggling to keep healthy in this climate. Recently defoliated (about a month ago) and pruned, then repotted. New growth looks healthy for now but it eventually starts turning yellow and sickly. Have not been able to figure out why. Might be a candidate to sell to someone in a better climate.

New trident maple ROR from Don Blackmond, had it for about a month.
