We’ve finished the Motorhome rebuild, so the trees are back on a fresh new bench. ❤️

Bit of bbq action whilst I’m waiting for the weather to warm up and begin the repots..

It’s a very tempting option when I mocked it up and deleted the lower pad.. but it’ll be another year of head scratching I think.. 🫣

Thanks buddy, I’ve been pondering it for what seems forever.. but it feels right now..

Then I erased the lower pad and I’m back to pondering whether that should go.. 😂

Before and after of this very old Scot’s pine. Removing a significant branch is always a difficult decision, but I’ve been fixing to do this for about a year and the time felt right last night.

Little Scot’s pine with initial wiring applied to give some basic shape for this years growing season. Several major branches removed which were either growing in the wrong place, or in the wrong direction. #bonsai #yamadori

This picea has been transformed over 4 years from the dead stick I had into what we see today.

From collection to first styling of this yamadori Scottie.. I was intent on it being a litteratti tree but with enough badgering from my mate John Turner it’s now a twisty windswept thing..

From collection, to first styling.. photos taken 4 years apart. The trunk is now huge, and a heavy feeding regime has helped this. Next spring it’ll get is first ceramic home.
