The Tree Thread

[BobbyLane]

One of a few, large Wych Elm cuttings taken 11 days ago, the leaves are looking healthy and new buds are emerging. Bagged back up after. This would make a sweet twin trunk if it takes, actually two cuttings planted together

Autumn clean up for one of my JBP ... just over shohin sized (small kifu I guess!)

Ryceman! Your JBP work is top notch man.

Bending the apex on a Beech with that little tissue trick, its a lifesaver when using heavy gauge wire on a smoothed bark tree. This branch was too forward, I bent it back and up effectively

I wish I had a mountain view. Thinking about what I can build for a backdrop so my tree photos don't look through four other backyards.

Wow! Thanks for the props.

Struggling for a pic to show (as required) but here is me working on a JBP over the weekend. This one is NOT my tree, but fun to work on and a nice developing tree nonetheless! Just doing a bit of Autumn (Fall) maintenance …

In picking up Dario's thought I'd like to start this thread where,if you comment, you have to post a picture of one of your trees. You can post the same tree multiple times, but from different angles, or details about the tree or the container.
We will thus continue commenting on each others' trees and post more trees.

Here's my tree, Conocarpus erectus - Buttonwood:

Best,

May I post without commenting on any of the great trees here?

A baby Japanese maple. In this plastic pot a month or so. Likely to be repotted later. Neighbor has a tree that throws hundreds of seed. I have quite a few 1 - 3 years old. Eventually I will probably do a grove.

Here's another Beech im prepping for an airlayer, looks a mess for now. There were a few primary branches starting horizontal from the trunk, ive a bit crudely got everything rising upwards with guy wires, this will allow light to penetrate the tree

Out of our native deciduous trees, Beech and Hornbeam are two of the most beautiful as they open and extend...

Bougie today.



Corkbark Elm before the winter.
Really in need of a trim.

Vine maple clump this morning. This is how they grow, directly on lava, on the Central Oregon lava flows

Shohin Akamatsu in training.
In 5 years it will become a decent bonsai, I guess.

First of May today, so here's a Mayflower. Common, hawthorn, Crataegus monogyna.

Just another zelkova



Realizing I was going to have to wire this whole tree and eventually unwire







One of these days it might have its own thread

 

[BobbyLane]

Love that Zelkova!

Here is another Beech im readying for a layer just under the first branch. Love the subtle angles in the trunk and the almost perfect natural branch placement..

This is one of my favorites. You should sell all of your princess persimmon forests and make more of these instead.

I would suggest a title, but the one that fits is already taken.
