[SFDrake]

Got this little Barbados Cherry from an Ebay seller. Never had one. Know a few who grow them in this climate. The grower is in Florida and it is potted in a mix of sandy loam and perlite. It may need to be watered a bit differently than all my other trees. Needs some trimming.

Nice! I keep mine a little on the wetter side here in Florida

Today had arrived a "decent" couple of pots for the next reppoting season in february 2026, maybe is a way to soon, but winter is coming!

 

[leatherback]

Just spent 750E for 12 of these, delivered. Found a decent source.

Next beginners workshop starts in 2 months. Only 1 seat left, so will probably sell out again..
Will style one myself as an example..

 

[Michigan Tree Murderer]

Choose your own deadwood.

And the things I bought for myself!

Whooohooohooo!

People who have been on this forum some time know why I am excited about this dried-out stick that came in barerooted yesterday!

 

[KateM]

I guess we'll see...
High grafted disectum JM with sprouted base. Two for one or at least one regular JM.
And lorapetalum. Can't make up my mind if they are hardy in my neck of the woods. Leaning towards marginal.

 

[Michigan Tree Murderer]

I got this sweet kotohime JM from @JoeR The leaves are so tiny,

 

[Zac]

I also purchased some trees from @JoeR . I only got smaller starters a variety. I got 2 serrisas, 2 JBPs, a ginkgo and a willow leaf ficus. Just received and opened package.

This trident from someone reducing inventory. The tree has chlorosis on new growth, so I immediately fed it with chelated iron after taking it to home. Next June I will make one or maybe two thread grafts to create primary branches. After that, I will wait for the massive scar from the chop to heal.

just arrived,
going outdoor (balcony) and hoping to learn few things and dont kill this cherry in the process

 

[SailDesign]

I went to New England Bonsai Gardens for a beginners' course (when I last tried to keep bonsai alive some 30 years ago, things were different- actual organic material was in the pots <gasp!>)

On the way out I grabbed a 4" pot by Bruce Lenore because the proportions were "just so".

Now I have to find a tree to inhabit it.

 

[PhunGar]

Been eyeing this tree off for years, finally moved on a few trees to make this one happen. Very rare to find white pine of this age in Australia.

 

[zens]

I just bought a wisteria stump. Haven't actually seen it yet as a friend picked it up and is looking after it for me but from the photo it was worth the risk for the price

 

[KateM]

More tropicals
Crassula sarcocaulis. Bate root wich I did not expect. Potted it up in a pottery class bowl from Goodwill with pretty bubbled glaze, which probably was considered undesirable...

 

[Brian Van Fleet]

New old Chinese pot. Very usable size, 17”.

 

[SailDesign]

A cold frame, to take everything but the Bald Cypress, which will overwinter on the porch (40F to 50F consistently)
The BC is also the tallest tree I have, so that makes life simpler. I'll have to see how many layers of the "raised bed" portion I need - then put pots directly on the soil and pack hay up to the bases of the trunks.
Ayesha has graciously let me have some space in the veggie patch, which is at least rabbit-proof.

Stock photo - delivery next week or so.

 

[shohin_branches]

Went to the Midwest bonsai show. Got some Sara Rayner pots. I really liked this glaze, okay

[SFDrake]
