[Tidal Bonsai]

Last weekend I moved the arakawa JM airlayers that I bought from @Tidal Bonsai in Sep 24. Didn't do a lot of root work, just loosened them up and removed most of the organic substrate to allow a quick recovery. I also moved the Korean hornbeam that I bought from Brent in Dec 24. I did removed quite a bit of roots as the rootball was very tight.

Yesterday I received 5 (6 actually) large bareroot JMs from Matt O and moved them into pouches. I made one clump and an individual tree with the one that had the most amount of roots. I wrapped the trees in quite a bit of teflon tape than wrapped them with aluminum wire.

Base on this Beech hedge at the nursery. Not for sale, its part of their hedge.

Absolute monster

My garden tonight....

Dug up this Shishigashira Japanese maple out of a friend's flower bed where it's friend had already been killed by aggressive flowers.

Noticed that this Japanese maple I bought leafless at the club silent auction last fall has suddenly produced some very cool leaves.

Marking some future arakawa layer locations with wire before the tree is covered in leaves.

My dwarf pomegranate has grown fantastically fast in the last few months! It must really love my climate!

Went to Green Thumb Bonsai in Greenville, So.Carolina. Spent the day there. John Green and I put up a 20 X 20 shade cloth to try and replace a 65 year old Pecan tree that covered almost the entire nursery.

so many things

 

[Cajunrider]

Repotting a BC that I split the trunk to create a twin almost 2 years ago. Moved the tree from a big round pot to a bus tub for moving.

If you followed my BC work, you would know that this was once a pole straight BC with very little taper.
Once the tree is moved to PA, the low branches will be wired for proper angle and movement.

I potted up a Cotinus I picked up from Wentworth Nursery yesterday. About half the branches were dead. I told the Manager it was half dead and asked if it was in the Hospital Section. Before I could say anything else, she said "$5.00, we will mark it as a gift." I asked several times if she was sure and she kept saying "Yes, take it off my hands", so I brought home a half dead $150.00 Cotinus for $5.29. I trimmed up the tree (there was still green under the bark) and got it into a bonsai pot. The trunk at the soil line is 3" in diameter. Cinder Block and original pot for scale.
Time will tell if the $5.00 was worth it.

Are you an 1890’s oil Barron ,Baron?

I wish!!
I guess this manager just really likes me or is trying to clear out the Hospital Section. I have gotten 5 trees from them in the last two months. 4 of them from the "Hospital Section". The list prices for the trees is over $800 and I have paid just under $150.00 for all of them. I got a $300 Arborvitae for $10, the $150 Cotinus for $5, a $300 Japanese Maple for $99, a $40 Bayberry for $5, and when I was joking about a Flowering Almond being in the Hospital Section, the cashier gave me 10% of on it. The J. Maple will go into the yard but I have taken cutting from it to bonsai.
