The last tree I purchased in 2016 was a collected garden juniper from my local bonsai nursery. Been in this pot for about 3 years. I worked on it with Mauro for a day this past November.

I picked up these three Japanese Black Pine from the local landscape nursery. End of year special, all three for $40 total. A lot of work ahead of me especially because these are my first JPP. I will be looking for help in the near future.

I am growing a bunch of linden seedlings out in my garden. Currently at about 2inch thick, 1/2 foot. I find they pop buds lower on the trunk, after chopping in late fall/early winter. I have just reduced all the 2 year old branches back to stumps 2 weeks ago.

Not trees per say, just tiny sticks; but I bought a bunch of tropicals for myself for Christmas. A Dwarf pomegranate, Barbados cherry, Willow leaf ficus, Magnolia and a Singapore holly.

Got this one from a friend on Saturday. He does not know the plant's name. Can anyone ID this one? It does have small flowers, white or red.

This is a Korean Hornbeam. @Vin has named it for me...May I ask how old is this tree and what's called?
A bit orgasmic looking at it
From 6 you get one. Then 6 will get one. 7 trees effecting 7 lives. Kind of like the Seven Samurai. Those trees are bound for glory. Maybe you should name yours The Seventh Samurai. Quite fitting I think.
The name came from the 6 trees I had to sell to acquire this one lol.

I confess - the last tree I bought in 2016 wasn't for me. It was for Si Nguyen. He just doesn't know it yet. I saw it in a nursery and snapped it up because it is exactly the kind of tree he likes. I just have to repot it in something in the Spring, clean it up, and he will beg me to have it.
Prior to that, I bought some trees on my Fresno Road Trip. I will edit this post and add photos when the sun comes up

I was going to say Serissa japonica until you mentioned the red flowers. You sure they were red and not pink?
/edit Oops Brian beat me to it.
Jester217300 ..... Maybe everyone else knows, but for me, what is that on the White Board behind the tree??
And I do like your tree, I see one about that size (trunk) by a mailbox on my way to work everyday. I have told the owner if they ever decide they don't want it , just give me a call.

My very last tree was a cute little shohin willow leaf ficus I bought from NEBG in the beginning of December.
I havent taken a picture of it yet to show.
The "last" tree I bought before the ficus was this scots pine at the Nationals Show
It needs to be repotted back into a training pot, fed, fed and fed some more to convince it to back bud and grow some new branches to replace some of the long straight ones its got now.

So, last purchase of 2016 became first project of 2017. It's now the right size, all I need to do is to make it the right shape

Thanks Brian and BN for ID the plant. Now I have the ID, and read on how to taking care of it.
The plant was neglected by my friend, he is not doing bonsai.

That is some wiring diagrams Mauro made during a lecture on wiring. The video is posted on Vance's "About wiring" thread.

Ever get that nagging feeling that you are forgetting something?
Well I had that feeling when I typed my previous post.
When I walked out into the garage this morning I finally realized what I had been forgetting.
I bought this weird Trident maple at the same time I bought the ficus.
Sorry for the pic on the back of the truck instead of a plain background but it was 35 degrees and I didnt want to go to the hassle of setting it all up.
