The Shohin Tree Thread

A "fernleaf" hinoki that I've been working on for a few years. Fast grower.

Dwarf dogwood back in May when I took the wire off, and again today. Its first year in a pot.

Hoping this one does better then pretty much every other chojubai to call my back yard home. I know the Geckou pot wants it to do well...

That’s a nice pot for it in my humble opinion. Looks great too!

This one maybe pushing the friendship a bit . Chinese Elm ,no particular style just a very knotty situation . Cheap no name pot .

Procumbens. Bought as prebonsai nursery stock a couple months ago for $15. Wired it up, jinned a few branches, and put it in this little pot.

Ming Aralia. Bizarre species. I am styling this like a ginkgo, flame shaped. Might be an inch or two over shohin

Watching these little things go through summer leaf drop for the first time was retching to say the least and then BOOM they’re back!
