I have one more question on the live vein cleaning... I just started to do it on my juniper (first time in my life) and sometimes when I remove the bark it's creating some damage to the live vein. I don't know if it's normal or not but assume I must be doing something wrong. Is it a matter of technique or just being more careful?

Cleaned up a couple good sized shimpaku (actual Juniperus chinensis 'shimpaku') junipers that I couldn't resist at a local nursery sale "They're how much off? Uhh, lemme go back and get another one." I can see a dozen or more air layer trees off these after I wire some good movement into all the vigorous whips. The main bases aren't bad either!

Today I begun the adaptation of this tv stand to a monkey pole. I had to sand and apply wood protectors, and I'm in the middle:
The final use for this monkey pole will be to hold a square slab, where I will be creating a forest next spring....

I can't wait to see what you do with that pot!
Finished needle plucking on this Scots Pine
Unwired these young JM branches. Next spring I try to make some cuttings from them or wait few years and try airlayering when they will be thicker. I want to have some movement in the from start, so I will see how it goes.
Heavy wired few young spruces collected this spring. Here’s an example of one of them:

Last night I dragged all the tropicals in from the backyard and both greenhouses because of the frost warning. Now to shuffle things into their winter homes. I really need to sell some plants.

I recommend leaving hardy trees outside until it is fully cold and dormant. At least two hard frosts. You'll end up with less pests that way.

Actually a couple of days ago, but it's been one of those weeks:
A friend of a friend had a fairly large bougainvillea but no more room to bring it inside her plant-packed house for the winter. I already have an 8 foot tall bougie in my greenhouse, but I thought 'Why not try to make it into a bonsai?'
It will really be 2 bonsai ultimately and I'll give one away. I understand that root rot is a big risk, so these were potted into 80% pumice, 20% coco coir and are now on a heating mat in the greenhouse.

Worked on some more seedlings. Pictured are my 3 year old Zelkova.
This picture is of the strongest. I had quite the variety in this flat. Mostly untouched this year besides potting them. The local deer seemed to actually have helped with the trimming on these rather then all if my other plants.
Here is an interesting one I found in the flat. I can't quite picture what lead the tree to take this shape. Nevertheless, it somehow tipped over drying out all of the original roots. There is a single root that took over near the edge of the pot. Happy accidents.
Lastly, I can't quite tell but it seems that I have a couple of these Zelkova with sharper points and deeper serrations. Something for me to take note of for the future

I am guessing to oil the pots.
