Sakaki / Hawthorn yamadori collection

These hawthorns were collected through yamadori in early February-2012.
I collected them together with their original soil. I thought it would be better to transplant them to a new soil mixture next year.
Following pictures were taken in mid of March.
I would like to share their developments, and take your comments & criticisms under this tread.

You've been busy!

All are nice but I am partial to the 4th one. Would live to see these develop.

It is my favorite also!
As all you can notice, I have been focused on small to medium sized plants (though I have a few big stumps) since I do not have enough space. I use my balcony to grow up and develop my plants.
If I have a new house with garden in the future, I will certainly focus on yamadoring and working on big ones
Up to that time, you have to stand my small and medium sized freaks

Thank you

Today was my free day, and I decided to visit one of the mountains nearest to me to look for some yamadori possibilities.
I found this hawthorn, and added it to my hawthorn collection:

hi Sakaki, Taner

nice collecting but no need to put your login name before every post you put up. just the topic or species will be fine i think

cheers Marcus

Dear Marcus,

Sorry, if it bothers you and other members.
Actually, it is an habit that I gained in our national forums which require typing login name in front of subject (& seperated by a dash) of every topic
I will try to remember it in my next topic.

Thank you for informing.
Taner
