Jersey Bonsai Society

Hi All,
Thias is what we get up to (or some of us) on our little islands of Jersey Channel Islands. The Jersey Bonsai Society meets most Sundays at my garden centre.

Great trees. Love the bark on the Larix. What kind of Lonicera is it??

Hi Paul
Thanks for the comments it is the hedging honeysuckle Lonicera nitida. This tree i got as untrained material from a well known bonsai master, potter and sculpter some years back about 10 or more. I also purchased a pine collected by another bonsai person which i will show below, this too was untrained and in a massive training pot.
The Larch i purchaced (along with some other material) when i competed in the bonsai new tallent competition in 1999 and has been an interesting plant to work on.

My Pinus syl. after a repot and root work.

Thanks from James

This is a picture about a week ago of Toms Azalea from our club. It was purchased as untrained material from a uk nursery i helped Tom train it it has taken about 7 or 8 years and has been in this pot the last 4 years. Tom leaves the tree in my care and i plan to repot and wire it after this years flowering.

Lots more were repotted all will make a good show this year.
Happy repotting James

Great trees, too! I really like some of those trunks. Most pictures don't do a lot of trunks justice, but yours are good.

Hi Kirby2
Thanks for the nice comments the pictures were luck i think but one thing good about this IBC is you end up taking pictures of your trees! That was one of my weakest points so some trees i have done i dont have pictures of each stage of development.
