Hello from rainy Lancashire!

I’m too new to all this to be of any help with anything but I also have horse chesnut and oak (both from seed, about 1-2 yr old) as well as a purchased pre-bonsai silver birch, funny how similar our collections are! Please do post pics sometime.

Welcome!

Hi,

Nice to hear you have grown from seed
My chestnut saplings are not even a year yet but ill post some pics on the weekend, would be nice to see some pics of yours.

One of my oaks I believe is 3-5 years old

I only have 1 tree in a plastic bonsai pot at the moment and that is my silver birch that sadly lost its leaves recently due to lack of water whilst I was on holiday.

Welcome! I used to linger in the Facebook UK bonsai groups. I recently left...as I'm refocusing my time.

Good afternoon,

Well here is a few photos of my sweet chestnuts still unsure as to which trees I will bonsai.
All planted this year and have more sweet chestnuts than I thought

Still getting used to posting on this site so apologies for how its presented, ill post some more of my other trees at a later date.

My 3 biggest sweet chestnut.







My twin sweet chestnut that I will definitely try to bonsai



Another sweet chestnut that has my 2nd bit of wiring that I've done




My last sweet chestnut that got infected with mildew, unsure if it will live and is looking very sorry for itself.



Have a lovely day
