I decided to make some bonsai art today. I’ve had this old plow disc laying around, I found it a few years ago while stalking the woods looking for material. A few drill bits, three railroad spikes and a few welds later here it is. The first of hopefully more plow disc bonsai pot. It measures a whopping 18 inches across. @rustygarden

Just uploaded a YouTube video on the styling of this tree.

Any likes or subscriptions from the community would be super appreciated... it's quick and painless and helps the algorithm from burying the video.

Thanks

Kyle

5 repots deep for 2025 . Both of my prunus cerasifolia , 2 crab apples and an asian pear . The goofy prunus root tree went into a pot by a local guy that goes by Sol . I really like how it looks .

Did some work on a hornbeam I potted up, carved alot of of deadwood to accentuate the hollow in the trunk. I'm gonna go for a literati spooky tree

Did a little pruning on my red maple which should be coming back to life soon. A couple weeks ago I put it into a slightly larger pot.

Also trimmed this American Holly as it was getting heavier growth in the middle area.

This Wild Black Cherry started leafing out earlier this month and was going crazy so I pruned it back today as well. It had some branches that died over the winter as its prone to do each year. So I trimmed those too.

 

[Dragon60]

Almost forgot. This Chinese Privet had rooted itself through a plastic basket into the front yard for a couple years. Yesterday I dug it up, potted it up and pruned it. May end up trimming that lowest branch (or not) and try for a literati style. Being a Privet the foliage should bounce back nicely soon.

Checked on my trees. Yep, still there... I think.

Moved a few back into the garage for a couple days.

Lots of projects. Had some extra cedar from a fence project, so played Tinkertoys!

I finished stripping this Sandrobe beech (F. sylvatica ‘Sandrobe’) Lovely, crinkly leaves on this dwarf, and so so many of them. Also made a few of the most obvious cuts, but will fully prune and wire it when it gets repotted, sometime in the next month or so.

I came back from visiting my folks for a few days to find that my gmelina philippensis is trying extra hard with one of its branches.

Getting ready for Puget Sound spring!

We are pressure washing all other cedar benches (10) today using a hand gun with adjustable pressure step down device.,

Bench shown is a big brother 72”, to the lower 40” benches previously shown. All are relatively light, yet sturdy.

At least one older bench will be repainted soon. It’s in the garage with a heater blowing on it to quick dry.

Made a grow box, going to let one of my larger trees grow out for a while. Second effort, first that didn't look, uh rough. Wife's idea to put handles on it.
