From my friends at Amazon. Pots and domes come together, 25 in a pack. I'm not very good at copying links but you'll find them there. The pots are a little flimsy.

1st 2 successful airlayers potted up to grow out more a cork bark chinese elm and red japanese maple. I gotta say that is a very satisfying feeling finally having them work.

Found a container of cuttings still alive in my basement and I went to a bonsai club meeting

Went to the Huntington

Erggg! Big tree branch split an AP butterfly I had growing out...

One could argue it was nature saying, this is the year for the trunk chop to create taper.

My day was spent on cheap bonsai, my garden sprouts a good supply of Carpinus betulus. I dig some up every year and start their journey as bonsai. This year I used most of them to create a forest. I did slowdown the collection and only kept a few of those I dug from the garden. The composition will get its own thread once I have time to take decent pictures.

 

[Hack Yeah!]

Potted up roughly 50 AP Kashima cuttings from last year, because I guess I need more trees?

Once I move to PA, I might hit you up for some JM.

More repots, for some of the rubbish material clogging up the benches I am tired of looking at!

Miyasama Yatsubusa Trident gets a pond basket and will be planted in the ground to help heal some big wounds (and give me a couple of years to think about the next step ). Nursery yew gets a stone monkey unglazed mushikui pot (native tree, native pot competition). Nursery shohin cotoneaster gets mottled reddish Ian Baillie glazed round.

If you ever need a home for one or three of those cuttings let me know.

[ShadyStump]

My thoughts exactly.

Give me the pot and nobody gets hurt!

 

[SgtPilko]

I'm letting it grow out for the competition but need the native pot on it alright? please don't judge lol. Plus you owe a picture haha

Photo tax: Here is some kind of pest or disease on my buxus that keeps recurring... I thought it was caterpillars but seems to have continued over winter. Hope its not box blight?

 

[KateM]

Finally finished glazing my teapot. It'll be fired tonight and I am going to see the final result next Sunday. Hopefully, not disappointing... I put a lot of effort into it.

Glazed some more pots

 

[outdoormarky]

Brand new, so go easy. I pruned and wired a few branched on my "practice" ficus. First time wiring anything but houses. I'm honestly thinking about chopping/layering the trunk to just above the first branch, but that's for my future, more experienced self. And now I've got some cuttings.

 

[leatherback]

Plus you owe a picture haha

fair enough!

repotting season

 

[NateDyk47]

Started repotting season with a few JBP. I added what movement I could to the lower trunks. Wish I would've done that last year... oh well, hindsight.
