Great trees, thanks for sharing.

Definetly keep it. Once you have it in a nicer pot and really get dialed in to it's requirements, you will be happy.

Those are some real monsters! Fun times ahead developing these.

I like it, and would give it time. Has it flowered for you?

Great progress Brian! Your work developing pines is the perfect resource, and motivation. Thanks for making the effort to share with us.

Thanks for the encouragement my friend.

Another great tree Adair! But I read online that JBP aren't good trees, you need a paper route or something to buy "real" trees.😆

So are you developing the flat top at this point? I use duct putty on my big chops, and these guys tend to callous super fast.

http://bonsaitree.ca/trees/ http://shikoku.ca Two bonsai nurseries, and on the island you have multiple suppliers too! @River's Edge owns what looks like a beautiful nursery.

There are TONS of suppliers out west, which part of the province are you in?

@Cosmos pine is a real beauty, and both of us will have a blast learning all the nuances of JBP development, and refinement. I picked up a nice big trunk just like his, the week before. So we will be able to have the trees exactly in the same stage, a cool way to share our adventure.

@Potawatomi13 I am a guy who enjoys variety, and as @Adair M mentioned I love JBP. I have all kinds of funky local species I work, but I have JWP, various types of chinese elms, azaleas, cherries, loads of bald cypress, all types of trees that don't belong in my zone 4. I use two different...

Some winter clean up on a couple trees.

I am slowly picking away at this one, as I continue to compress the long branches. I am happy with the progress, and look forward to picking a first pot for it!

Our greatest supplier of quality prebonsai in my area does exactly like you Frank. All container grown, and all in mixed substrates for optimum health. He produces huge amounts of material, and has no difficulty getting good trunk development.

Two cork elms for Christmas!

If you follow John Geanangel on Youtube, he has great videos on his azalea projects.

Happy New year folks! I stuck some cuttings well sippin my coffee this morning, off to a good start!

Are these currently multi trunk bushes?

Merry Christmas folks! Here's a photo of my daughter trying to raise an overly large drop branch!

Awesome as usual Walter! The documentation of the development of your trees is first class!

Merry Christmas gang! I look to: - build my skills in refining developed material. - prepare a bunch of material for ground growing. - repot a fair number of trees into their first ceramic pots - work on friendly relationships with various government offices, to gain collecting rights.

I just signed up for my free trial week with Mirai, and I am quite impressed with the quality instruction. I find Ryan has done a great job documenting all the different types of seasonal work, and has it organized so you can search by tree type, or season. Pretty cool resource.

Nice work dude! So what are your future plans for your bonsai career?

These look like awesome little starters!
