The Shohin Tree Thread

All the Dwarf Barbados Cherry's are wanting to bloom.

Just brought this guy in for the winter.

It went into this pot last fall. Then it suffered greatly because I wasn't watering it enough for that small pot. It was almost leafless coming out of winter

I didn't do anything to it but let it grow this season. I kinda like how it bounced back. If it continues to do well over this winter, maybe I'll go a different direction with it next summer.

It's either a mame, shohin or komono depending on which classification source you use...but hopefully close enough to shohin to not break the thread rules!

Doesn't matter much, it's currently my only tree anywhere near this size so I can't respond to any criticisms anyway

JBP... one year closer to the end goal!

Juniper, 17cm, just tidied up.

Another pine, another year closer. This one is a Japanese Red Pine “Aurea”... it should really start to tidy up when those long needles can come off... probably next autumn for most of them... on the way.

Small red chojubai I potted today. It's only two years old but it looks cute in its Erin oval. It took me 5 minutes to pot this into its new container which makes a change from the usual hacking I have to do with bigger field grown stuff.

I did a chojubai white for chojubai red cutting exchange with a lady bonsai friend on a UK forum and it arrived last year as a 3 inch cutting. Since then it's popped many shoots from the base so all I've done is wired some wiggle and directed the shoot into its own space.

Leaves have already dropped on this English elm, so I did a little cleaning up and wiring tonight. Tree is approx 6" above the pot. Hopefully this will be the last year I need to wire it, for a while at least.

Better picture of the elm. And an Acer palmatum.

Ryceman3 · Oct 25, 2020

Almost a year to the day since I last posted a pic of this tree in this thread (https://www.bonsainut.com/threads/the-shohin-tree-thread.37746/post-688596) ... thought I'd put in an update.

Chinese Elm ‘Hokkaido’

I got this little clump from The Bonsai Nursery in Denver earlier this summer. Potted it up in akadama in June and today pruned it for the first time, correcting structural flaws and setting the branching up for next spring.
