The Shohin Tree Thread

I’m not sure, time will tell.
You owe us a photo of one of your shohin trees.

Apologies. Crepe myrtle air layer separated this year.

Another one from yesterday. Trident, 4 years from seed. The smaller trunk on the left was grafted in last spring after the original trunk died the previous season

Erodium reichardii 'Alba'
More Shito than Shohin, it'll take a few more years to get there.

Good example of what’s possible with some future vision and applying the correct techniques.
My very first Japanese maple was purchased in February 2020. I was 7 months into my bonsai journey and didn’t know much.
Fast forward 5 years and I have 2 decent shohin projects from the original tree.
