Next weekend is the anniversary of the death of the wife of one of my dear friends. Since she loved my BC bonsai, instead of bringing flowers, I am composing this 2 tree display on a slab. It will be set at her favorite spot in the back yard.

JRN 2 desmodium. $650 I think it is a pretty good deal.

I like desmodium but I am not about to get a big one. Keeping them in the cold north is a problem.

That post is not exactly for Uncle C. It is a picture tax for this thread and I went to JRN the other day and saw it. It's a pretty tree but definitely out of my price range.

Uncle, somehow I feel like you have more trees the when I last visited.

I dunno. My Mayhaws are hawing one another in the dark and my BCs are sliding into one another in the mud so they procreate?
One BC to another: Is that you knee or do you REALLY LIKE me?
 
Did some spring yard cleaning in my bonsai bench corner and moved the benches back in there.
Did an inventory of bench legs I need to order to finish increasing the height of the benches that need it to keep out of doggy reach.

Inspected the trees in the cold frame to see if they are waking up. Most are showing signs of it.

Did an inventory of absolutely needed repots so I can make sure I have shallower training pots to transition them into.

Couple repots today, a little ginkgo starter that was so unnoteworthy that I'm just glazing over it, then I moved onto my Wisteria.

It had been chilling in its nursery pot for about 2-3 years now, thankfully the roots hadn't become entirely a mess. Afterwards I moved onto my Katsura which was a chore and a half.

The nursery pot it was in was roughly that wide, but probably 3-4x deeper. A lot of course taproots had emerged from the center of the root ball and had to be carved back quite aggressively. Due to its aggressive basal growth pattern, im trying to work a lot of these lower, primary branches into secondary trunks and ideally thicken out the nebari enough to give a more cohesive clump look.

Yesterday I had a friend dig 2 of my trees that have been in ground 15 years. The a. Shirasawanum was relocated to a more protected area to gain vigour. The Austrian pine has been in this Korean pot the whole time in pretty good shade. It has scale and no roots escaping the bottom. Fully expected that pot to crumble but it stayed in tact.
