Repotting

I am desperate to get going with some repots, I have quite a few to do this year. Unfortunately the temperatures here haven’t risen sufficiently to be 100% safe from frosts. It is still very cold out and frosts over most nights. I do have the added bonus of a greenhouse where newly repotted trees can sit, but even inside there it is getting down to freezing on occasion. I will just have to be patient!

Bonsai Video of the Week #10

This week we have a short video from Walter Pall, as he discusses how he first got involved in bonsai. As always, great to hear an insight from a master such as Walter Pall.

Enjoy :)

WeeTrees Bunjin Competition Finished Trees

The Bunjin competition held on the WeeTrees Bonsai Forum has ended now. There were a large selection of really excellent and very different entries from all of the members. I though I would compile the before and after shots of all of the trees. The working period for the competition was around 3 months so this was what was achieved -
