When I was stationed in Virginia we had this problem with opossums. My tough ass cat, though, somehow managed them. Then people act like I'm crazy for not liking opossums.

Pic tax, a shot of that cat being badass

That box gonna fit in the moving truck?

Went to the local bonsai club meeting today, won a couple trees that were auctioned off. These were both collected from Colorado by Vince Lee, of Satoyama Bonsai.

Seems like today is for propagation chores! "Kishu" cultivar of juniper. The air layers were ready on the mother plant. Finishing off this particular plant with s group of five air layers using the plastic rooting pots that I favour for certain size of air layers. They have the advantage of excellent drainage and air moisture mix due to their design and small well built into the bottom of the structure. They do have the limitation of branch size due to their rigid structure that folds together over the branch. Here are some pictures to illustrate the results beginning with the mother plant and ending with the separated group.
Couple of comments that go along with the process.
1. I retain the stub until spring, will remove the base off the air layered portion then and seal the bottom cut. I prefer to use it for stabilization in the pot and avoid unesescary disturbance of the new roots.
2. Plant is wired in as well to prevent movement and damage to roots. I feed the wires down from the inside and up the outer side of the pot to secure from four directions. This is easiest for me. I have predrilled my terracotta pots with four small holes for tie down wires as a matter of practise.
3. The rooting substrate is small particle pumice with shredded sphagnum moss so it separates from the new roots easily and mixes well with new substrate. No need to comb out the roots at this stage.
4. The remaining base will be developed as a multiple trunk display tree. For now the cuts have been sealed. Will wait until recovery for additional work.
5. The air layers will be repotted this spring and housed in the greenhouse over winter for this year only.

Woah what are those pots and where did you get them??

Did the morning shift at the Lynden Bonsai collection. I picked up the shift last second from someone else who couldn't do it so I didn't have an assignment. I did a lot of cleanup and fixed the topdressing on a lot of trees.

Working on an off grid sprinkler system, initial test run went well. I should be able to water a 30' radius with this small pump.

Cut back the water and give it 110% of sun and watch her blooming.

My son did the watering while we were on vacation. I didn't want to burden him with specific instructions for every tree but I will cut back on the watering. Everything on my southern exposure patio used to get full sun but the southern magnolia has started to provide a bit too much shade.
