Might need to build a new Display?

bonsaial1

I had to move around some trees in my back yard for tree pruning. Large trees that were over 30 feet tall. They were getting a little dangerous and I was afraid they might crack and fall on my display benches. Today they cut back all the trees and I had a large tree removed from my front yard. While moving around the trees it became painfully clear that I am nearly out of room for my ever expanding collection of shohin.

I have a few places open for a couple of those I have seen from some Greer guy in Oklahoma! I have three layers and a few that may see pots next year. I took out my best trident and second best trident for a season in a grow pot just to increase ramification. That means I have 7 more that aren't even in the pictures!

I'm still lookin for a good pine....

Maybe you'd like to part ways with one or two of those beauties?

Myself, along with a few others would be more than happy to help you out.

I really like:
The second photo: cascading/semi-cascade one on the second row. Is that JBP? Hard to see. Post a close up photo perhaps? (or direct me to a thread where you already have)

Very jealous,
-EK

Thanks EK, no it's a shimpaku. It's in really bad shape presently suffering with an over fertilization bout two years ago. Last year I managed to save it in it's old soil and this year I re potted it into special shohin soil from Japan. It seems to be really respnding well and is budding good. Hopefully I can shoot a good close up of the better tree I hope it to be later this year. In fact two years ago I nearly killed all of my shimpaku's. Dang Behr Appleby, I'll get even with him somehow!
Cheers, Al

I would look around in California. I saw some nice ones while I was there last year.

Good luck with the trimming.

Yeh, Al...very nice collection.

By the way, Al...those display benches are worthy of expending some jealousy on.

Causes one to think that you may know something about wood work...or know somebody who does

Al....

I absolutely adore seeing what you build. I may have to drag you up here and build me one when I buy my house.

The trees are sweet to boot! Thanks so much for sharing.


Your friend,

Victrinia
