After waiting to make sure this Juniper was happy after a recent styling, I finally transferred it over to a new pot. Not the final pot, but one that allowed me to adjust the tree to the proper planting angle.

After styling in March.
Repotted now.
I keep a log here each year noting the date I see the first Swallow arriving for the Summer. The last two years have been on the 16th & 17th April, this year we are ahead of schedule with my first sighting today. A glorious Easter Monday with blue skies. A great way to start the day.
Little Japanese Larch in a John Pitt Pot.
Time for this berberis clump to come out of the poly tunnel. Going to make a nice tree.
I’ve had this little tree for 20 years, you’d think it’d be better by now lol.
I was pushing my luck today wiring this Hawthorn so late on. Easy to knock off emerging buds. However if left for another season the branches would have stiffened further making it harder to get the right shape into them. Some deadwood also removed to improve trunk line.
A long way to go to create enough ramification on this one to make a convincing mature image, but that’s the fun part 🙂
Trying to take a few photos around the trees yesterday and Maggie wasn’t happy until she’d done her cute posing routine!

I finished work today at 5 and am off now until 13th April. I have lots of bonsai things planned during this time and thought I’d get stuck in by clearing away the mess in the garage left over from the potting up of the collected pines on Sunday. As I was checking the bags before they went in the bin I spotted a missed shohin sized tree in a bag. After a further check I spotted 3 more!! Result 🙂
All were still in good nick as they had been collected with a full rootball still encased in field soil.
This is what we’ve been finding, even small trees with amazing bark and character.
