The Shohin Tree Thread

[vp999]

I'd wait on it for another few months, I'd also post a thread about to get everyone's opinion/experience. I've read some crazy stories about those coming back.

I don't know if we have x rated thread going anywhere for provocative trees, but this tree needs that type of thread, kind of embarrassed to post on the shohin thread, but this tree is hilarious!

So... This tree still haven't leafing out yet but the bark still green when scratched, I've been putting a bag over it and still nothing...I even soaked it in HB-101 several times... Anyone has any ideas?

I bought a Chinese elm from Florida and let's just say it wasn't a big fan of Wisconsin winters. Took until the end of June to leaf out so don't give up yet.

Excited to start getting this JBP a little more refined this year.

A contoneaster with berries that should turn from green to black

This started as blindly-ordered-from-the-internet nursery stock 3-4 years ago and at one point I wanted to trash it. It’s now one of my favorites. The pot is nothing other than green/blue. The berries on this one should ripen to black, and is not the standard cotoneaster.

Little Celtis got its winter trim. Collected this seedling 4 years ago from a neighbor’s garden.

First styling on this little japanese white pine

Ginkgos grown from seedlings collected from a local hardware store garden (with permission).

Love the trunk on this one, probably thanks to the gardeners lopping its head off as a tiny sapling. Interesting thin, long leaves.



Taller skinny one, still well under 20cm

Tiny trident, 2 seasons since collection from a local garden (I’m noticing a trend in my tree sources )

They’re on their way!

This was a seedling I got from Valavanis a few years ago, it’s only seen a pot. I’m trying to build lower foliage and letting a leader run, but they can’t run that far in a small pot



These are JBP seedling cuttings from last year, they’re strong but I won’t be able to wire them til next spring. Branching should be lower as they get old enough to be bonsai.



Of about 100 seeds, this is what I got from red pine this year, which I plan to make seedling cuttings from. There were about 50 seeds in this pot started late, and 50 in another started early that a squirrel fucked up



These are all being intentionally grown for shohin, so thought it would be fun to share. We need more red pine!

Chinese quince I bought from Shannon Salyer four years back. Shaggy now but letting it build strength. Heian Kosen pot.

I read you should repot these once a year so I did on year 2. Pot was pretty full but could def have taken a second. This is now the second year after repotting that time.

It doesn’t throw out very long growth so maybe I should put it in a deeper grow pot or small wood box next year to let it build strength? Kinda like how it’s doing as-is tho, curious as to opinions

Chinese quince are heavy feeders so try adding a balanced fertilizer at least once a week.

The heat and humidity are bad today so I brought this guy in to continue wiring.

Repotted a couple shohin tropicals recently. A Lantana & Premna.
