Remember this tree?

It was shown at the Joy of Bonsai a few years back, but I was never really happy with the postion of the tree in the pot.... plus the base of the tres began to rot so badly that the inverse taper meant that a rethink was needed.

Here is the tree when first collected in 2001, it was a twin trunk, the small trunk was sent bear rooted to Jack Douthitt.

I had the pleasure of hosting a Study Group from Scotland on Saturday in my Garden. Fiona, Peter, Peter and Martin spend the day discussing the merits and problems with Hawthorns... at the end of the day I repotted the tree in a rather unusual pot. Fiona took some photos... post them please Fiona. bounce

very nice solution tony! ..i think you made a good increase of artistic value.
Only a thing: the work on dead wood near the node, best if made before the repotting.
In this case, you must wait almost 1 year, else you can have some problem whit the roots growing

btw - now that I know the tree came from the Joy of Bonsai, I feel entirely vindicated in the name I gave it yesterday! Very Happy

Nice job Tony. Having fun it looks like. I'm surprised at the paucity of roots after all these years. Is that the norm for Hawthorn?

Hi Rob, its kinda the norm here in the damp cold North of the UK... although I have others that have far more vigor when making roots...this is a really slow growing tree... there is enough root to support the foliage mass...

Ivo... ah.. now I understand... you have an Eagles Eye. Suspect Yes this needs work... but I can wait a year whilst the tree establishes... however the tree is VERY firm in the pot, and I could 'strap' the trunk to a strong support and do the work on the small 'stump'...

Guys! Are you even suggesting this was a deliberate shot? An' there's me a good catholic girl, Tony - easily shocked by smut, innuendo, and lime green mankinis! At least you weren't wearing those shoes at the time!

Anyone know how to extract tongues from cheeks?

Hi Lee, the pot is by William Vlaanderen from Holland, this is one of his 'moon' pots. Was NOT a cheap pot because they are fired to a very high temperature and William does a lot of work during the firing to bring out the texture on the pot... worth every Euro bounce

Joking and smut apart Tony, this is a wonderful tree and pot combo. It just proves to me how far I need to progress in this hobby for my trees to even reach the standard of your pot!!!

Please carry on sharing your projects with us as it does inspire us mere mortals.

BRIAN!!!! You really know how to wind someone up don't you... a typo in Bonsai Focus and this gets presented to me on 'tinternet. My Tree, I collected it, I styled it... MY TREE Razz

Naughty Brian, go and say four Our Fathers, Three Hail Mary's and give up the demon drink for Lent Twisted Evil

I am considering your place at Burrs... maybe offer it to a Spaniard... Maximus Maximus Maxumus.

I need to lie down in a dark place for a while Sleep

Hi Rich, I use Kaizen Bonsai wood hardener (not sure if its still available)... and have found it quite effective, although if the deadwood is below soil it will eventually rot and perish, hawthorn is soft wood Sad
