Salix purchased this winter. This is a tree I have admired every winter for the last few years. Where I rent space for my trees over winter, this was always captivating me. I never knew who was the owner, but this year it was available to purchase. It became my birthday present from my family. I...

Big material you got there! It will be good fun building branches on that.

Gigantic material. This looks like it will be a great bonsai, really going to have that great big old tree look.

I like those round pots from Sam Miller, real nice!

I would suggest prunus tomentosa. They seem to bulk up fast, and they are prolific bloomers.

Wonderful tree! Really great that you get to be one of the caretakers of this tree. Enjoy.

How did this tree do through the growing season? It must be awesome being able to get to work with Jonas, he is a real talent.

Good work Alain, it will be very satisfying for you to see this tree become a wonderful bonsai.

I am with @Hartinez , and just can't wait to go to my first Nationals show. Was planningfor this year, but Biden kept the neighbours out!

Another great tree Michael, thanks for sharing.

Looks like Stumpy was used on a Facebook bonsai page.

That is a great size, very manageable.

Physocarpus surprise!

Really nice Michael. How tall is this one? I have a few different cork elms in development, and can't get over just how vigourous they are.

It's got some serious junk in the trunk!😆

Glad to hear all your trees are healthy, and that you had a good family summer. I was at a bonsai get together in August, and mentioned how as hobbyists we have to accept that life will get in the way of bonsai work. Like you said, trees are healthy, so no serious stress.

You can definetly remove those high roots, they are not a part of the true root system. As you mentioned, thuja put out roots in any collection of damp material. The root flare is clearly the lower section, and where this tree starts.

What?! 😆

@Hartinez I do still have it, and it still seems to be an easy one to care for. I have it potted similar to what I remember John G. using for his azaleas in development. I have it in a peat and perlite mix, and I prune after the blooms. I don't think I have ever cut it back as hard as an...

I hope things take a turn for the better. Such a shame to see pillars of the community just disappear.

It really was great to actually "be allowed" to share our trees with the public. Everyone was clearly overjoyed to be out, and socializing. The last year and a half have been terrible.

Sorry for your loss Josh, brutal to lose yer best bud. The pines look similar to what @Adair M was battling with recently.

Progress bulking up what was a stick in the pot bald cypress, not bad for the Great white north.

This one was also shared in my local club show this summer. The organization of the show was a little tricky, as we still have some difficult rules related to covid.

They must not have enough trees!😆
