This is only my second spring doing this so I'm still very new but am finding it very rewarding and fun. I have a lot to learn still and none of these are bonsai yet-more starter material but give me time and I'll get up there with some of you on here. There's a couple more I forgot in the grow out bed(very crowded atm) that I'll get a few picks tomorrow. I also started with one bench but am now building three more and should have my bonsai area finished very soon!

pinus virginiana-that is older then it looks. I plan on have it as a exposed root literati shohin-this was on the side of a cliff that I just had to pick up-was a great find

Thanks for sharing all those pics. A lot of potential in them there trees. I like the literati juniper.

I agree with Cockroach - some decent stuff to work with in there.

I'm interested in how you develop your Diabolo as I am developing one from a cutting. FOur years on and it is starting to look good despite folk saying Physocarpus don't take well as cuttings.

Yeah I still trying to figure how to control the growth and If I want to add bends to the top part before it bends down-but It'll be going in a pot next year so I'm pretty happy with it so far!

It was a nursery plant that I actually walked into, as I wasn't paying attention. It was about 5 feet tall so I just cut it down to the trunk and then just keep it well trimmed. The base it about 8 inches across so it does have some good size to it. I have to trim it down almost monthly as it grows so dang fast for me. I get no flowers this way but it keeps it's shape.

Thanks for the picture of the mountain laurel! I own a property with mountain laurel all over it, and have been wondering if anyone grows them as bonsai. They were in bloom here this week. I guess I will take a few and see what I can do with them.

They are by the millions where I collected the hemlocks and pine so I figured I dig up a small one and see how it does. So far so good lol

Love the trunk and nebari on the spindle tree and hemlock. They look like they are up and crawling away.
One problem I see in your collection- not much variety. Laughing

I am the same way haha! Only a small number- two dozen trees- but from 11 different species.
