They do change trees in their bonsai display.View attachment 600552
@KateM that's the ugliest juniper I've ever seen
Love Longwood Gardens and fountains.
Can't remember if you saw the thread I started on our day trip there or not.
The only bonsai there werre the azaleas then but what a display they were. Wow.

Started work on this gold lace juniper.
They have a new bonsai garden after the renovations and a bonsai workshop area in the old potting shed building. And they have a private collection bequeathed to them recently.
It all looks nice, but it was sad for me to see that succulent/desert and tropical/fern/bromeliad garden areas were reduced. The old greenhouses that were originally used for growing fruit/veg for the family are not open to the public anymore.
I must be growing old, ornery and not liking change
Ooh, and the other thing - I did not think gunpowder charged fountains to make the jets of water go extra high add much to the ambiance...
Not sure if it's really gunpowder charges that are used, but it sounded like gunshots...
Thankfully, they only do it on certain hours and not all the time.
Still love this place and love to go often.
And that juniper is ugly.
Took a pic of the pot I liked...Your thread is very nice.
It's also nice to have it for reference for all the changes...

I was hoping my comment on the 800 yr old juniper would entice an actual picture of it.
Thinned this gold laceleaf juniper today and yesterday.
Foliage is robust but wimpy or weeping.

it ain't pretty but it's alive, and it has it's own roots!
i set this air layer (first one i've done) on a big seiju elm at the end of March and separated it today. i reduced a lot of the foliage to limit transpiration until it gets more established, once it buds down further, i plan to reduce it more. had originally thought maybe it could be a twin trunk but the fork is so low it's in the substrate now. i'll wait to make a decision about that but i might just go with the thicker trunk.

Found these guys eating on the black willow I collected this spring (willow leaf beetle larvae). Just a heads up, they stink so bad it'll take your breath away. The smell is unique, and potent enough it carries a decent distance. From now on I'll let the pesticide do the work on these guys, screw manual removal.

In a pinch a well sharpened root slayer can prune palm trees.

Whether a BC, a gator, or a palm tree, if it runs up against my weapon, it will be slayed!

Pruned this ginkgo back and slipped it from a training pot into one of the Reiho pots I imported.
