Today I used Photoroom (a "free" app and website) to isolate a photo of a tree. I just wanted to remind you to use something similar when you want to share a photo of a tree and the background can ruin the picture.
It's really only a problem when people start a back and forth conversation derailing the thread. Plenty of areas and threads for that.I like the theme as long as a random comment not containing a picture won't be avoided or condemned in a righteous effort to adhere to the rules. It's the only reason I don't participate, unfortunately, because some people are sticklers for the rules... not the intention. But generally I love watching this post.
Cleaned up this E Hemlock. It's a work in progress.

Cool photo. I really like how it's displayed.
Yeah, I've seen a few but not many. When I first got here, I caused a few.. lol
Thanks for responding, I kinda wish I could take it back. But, oh well.

Got this JM from a peer in the area who didn't know what to do with it. I tried to convince her to keep it by giving her a couple of ideas but she refused. A pity since she grew it from seed !
I selected and wired the branches, and left a sacrifice one at the top.

I need to upgrade my guy-wire system...
This is inspiring in a... "what the hell was I thinking" kind of way.

My first forest turned 1 year old today.
A year ago:
Forests evolve faster than single trees, meaning many things can happen .... The left first tree died 3 months after the planting (it was replaced). 5 months after replanting an unkown desease afected this forest and about 15 more trees. I had to struggle for 4 months to try to save them. Finally as spring begun about 6 were alive and growing. One of them is this forest

Releveled and spaced three more of the bench supports. have one more to set in place - maybe today - and then the benches are done. I may change the planks on the other side though to match the new planking.
After I start the veggie garden rebuild.

I'm glad you posted again. This is cool too. is it as far along as the other..?
I wanted to ask you about using wood for pots. The other Hemlock is in a cutoff log for a pot and I was wondering if it was finished in any way before the trees went into it.

Some work I did this week on some of my trees in development.
Defoliated this Trident Maple and ended up taking off some of the upper branches that were growing out of proportion:
Pruned back this Ficus (added a couple guy wires to the branches on the right after I took the photo):
Pruned back and partially defoliated this shohin Olive, it's finally starting to fill out:

Went to Longwood Gardens.
Finally renovations are finished. I guess I am getting too old. I wish they kept the old parts and just added new parts...
Visited new bonsai garden
I guess the bald cypress would be representative of the unnatural nebari as mentioned by @Cajunrider , though I like the proportions.
Caught a Japanese snow bell tree in bloom
Magnificent cedars original to the Duponts
