That tree even looks good in a colander!

I believe that is TP permanent pot for this one . He going rouge on this one.

First blossom this morning. Not much pink showing yet. BTW, I made some adjustments to the apex weeks ago.

Nice! Also thank you for the updates on progression

The first blossom turns more pink from nearly white on this day.

looks like the flowers will be a very pleasing soft pink,
lots of potential.

Beautiful! It looks alike lotus flower bud! It reminds me the lotus pond in the foggy day! Thanks for sharing.

This clump has had different waves of blooms. First two blossoms bloomed one at a time, but the next ones will be in clusters. Hopefully closer in timing. Sort of like fireworks at a show. Start out small and end with a grand finale. Hmmm. I think I'm starting to sound like @bonhe .

I've started a couple thread grafts on one of the branches to become a branch and one to become a leader. I think now is a good time plan thread grafts while I don't have a bunch of leaves.

Didn't have time to take any pictures when blossoms bloomed sometimes but whatever I did last year made the flowers bloom at different moments. Didn't have a great show this year. No problem. I'll wait for next year. Go easy this year.

Thank you, Max.

Same cluster with more pigment today. I moved to a sunnier spot yesterday.

I thinned out some branches to allow light inside and strengthen the small secondary branches and the weak thread grafts. Cut back some strong branches. Unwired and rewired. Oh, I severed a few suckers too.

I didn't note on here that I put in some grafts, maybe late November. I mentioned doing it in the "shoutout box." I got some scion from other Toyonishiki. More than half of the grafts sprouted leaves, there was a straggler. After the trip back from Japan, I notice another scion showing some movement. No leaf, but buds swollen. Anyhow, I moved the whole thing outside from a warm green house yesterday. I'd better repot in the spring.

Going on 4 years.
For a long growing season as recommended by @markyscott I have this Shiner. Hope for flowers and successful grafts. More and more. Can you spot my thread graft? I left leaves on my detached scion grafts, not sure if I should mess with their leaves.

Your Toyonishiki has excellent potential. It's looking good!

 

[0soyoung]

I agree, @fredtruck.
I cannot believe the work @thumblessprimate1 has put into it.

A quince trunk with taper!!!
Really????

 

[AppleBonsai]

Great work. Love it! @thumblessprimate1
