I took a few photos of the collected trees in the Poly Tunnel and compared them to the same shots from 10 days ago when they were placed in the tunnel. A nice shade of green appearing.

Amazing Photography
Photobotos.com follows this blog and being a generally nosey chap I was returning the favour and noticed this stunning photo of a Pine on Loch Lomand.
I then popped over to the photographers website and spent a very nice 30 minutes browsing through some excellent photos of the Scottish Landscape, many of them featuring trees. Result 🙂

Missed it!
When I was busy last week I missed this maple opening and now it has extended further than I had wanted! Last year this tree was weak after years of neglect from its previous owner. This year seems to show signs of renewed vigour. It was bought as part of a mercy mission and has a way to go but I think it has enough character to be an interesting tree. Older posts about this tree HERE and HERE.
Trident Update
My Root Over Rock Trident Maple is pushing hard after it’s repot.
My other Trident, not repotted this year is also at a similar stage.
Hawthorn Bursting and Back Budding
I seem to have prolific back budding on some collected Hawthorn this year. This first one was the air layer taken back in 2010.
Suckers from the base!
This one is slighter further on.
These had to be rubbed off.
This little Shohin is starting to back bud well too. A ways to go yet though.
Great post from Peter’s blog showing a Big larch repot!
A Walk Around Willowbog
While I was over at Willowbog last weekend I took a few video clips of the Nursery and some stills of the trees. Rather than have them just sitting on my hard drive, I have put them together for a little walking tour of the some, but not all parts of the nursery.
Fuji Flowers
Grabbed a few photos of my Fuji Cherry today. Had to be today as this year sees it pushing leaves after the flower very quickly. It’ll need a trim after flowering but the vigour this year seems to be even stronger than previous years.
Bonsai Blogs Bundle
I have a Google Reader Bundle Link on my Bonsai Bloggers link page that allows anyone to view my favourite Bonsai Blogs. It was kindly pointed out to me that one of the blogs had been hacked and some absolute rubbish was being added that was spoiling the fun for everyone viewing.
I have therefore created a new bundle for 2012 and changed the link. You can now view 180 bonsai blogs. Some are more active than others but all are worth a look. You can either save this link and view at your leisure or, if you have google reader, just add this bundle to your subscription list.
Click on the image below to view. You can also find this as a permanent feature at the bottom of my side bar. If you want your blog added to the list just ask.
