Itoigawa juniper from Telperion Farms. Left foliage to grow roots in new container. Have since cleaned foliage but has not yet been wired. The plant was root bound with rock hard substrate. The bonsai below me is former landscape plant.

This curbadori used to be someone’s landscape tree. Took three months to the day for it to push a bud. Now it’s getting its feet underneath it. This spring I’ll do a light cleaning and let it continue to rock out before I do an initial styling in 2022. Aiming to get it into a pot in spring 2023.
The bonsai below me was bought online

Here is my very young (just planted this spring) Seiryu Japanese maple forest. Technically not “a maple” meaning single. This is a couple of weeks ago pre fall pruning. The bonsai below is a cryptomeria.

Here is my 7ft tall cryptomeria(winterized pre-bonsai) that was over grown and leggy, I cut back some of the brittle long branches to start some more compact growth along the trunk line. A repot in a couple years after getting more branch growth. Once it recovers and is back energy positive the trunk will be cut to a more desirable height. A Mirai inspiration “go big or go home” haha. Not the best pictures in its winter huddle of pines and cedars.

Did I kill the thread with a gardenia…? How about a Hokkaido(?) elm.

The tree has been trained for 2 years from a tree taken from the garden.
Thread has been sitting for a month so here is a Rose of Sharon. Just starting her second year of development since it was rescued from a chainsaw.
The tree below is old and was planted from seed

Valley oak (quercus lobata) started from an acorn by Eric Shrader 15 yrs ago I believe. I’ve had the tree for a couple years and am working on expanding the ramification.
The bonsai below me is a forest planting.
