Bonsai Wednesday.

Tonight was all about removing wire from trees.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I had already started work on my Hemlock before anybody had arrived, cleaning off the weeds.

As Tony enjoys taking wire off, I left him to get on with it.

The branches did not move far, so I was quite pleased.

Tony brought this Podocarpus.

Which had a good prune.

Dev brought his Yew back for an update on what needed doing.

Which was to remove the wire.

The tree has had a good season of new growth.

Yet another busy night's work.

Well done lads.

Natter night 1st October 2018.

We had another good night tonight, as we always do, even though there was only one tree brought along to be worked on.

-----------------------------------------------------------

This Juniper was brought along by Graham to have the wire removed as it was starting to get quite tight.

Earlier on I started to wire this Taxus and clean the weeds off the compost.

I also cleaned the pot and carried on wiring tonight.

Very pleased with the final image achieved tonight.

Just for size I got this photo with Ken.

I for one am looking forward to next Monday and another natter night with good company.

Clean up, Itoigawa Juniper.

I had a choice tonight, either strictly or Bonsai, Bonsai won.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the Itoigawa juniper I decided to work on, just clear the weeds and clean the Shari, I thought.

But got carried away and trimmed the foliage as well.

Pleased I did as much, because it now looks much neater.

Mugo Pine.

My Mugo Pine now has a new pot.

------------------------------------------------------------

It is also a lot lighter now,so easier to move.

Bonsai Wednesday.

Neither John nor Tony brought a tree tonight so as I did not sell this Boulevard Cypress last weekend  at Doncaster boot sale,I decided to do a restyle on it.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

After a clean up of the Shari and Jin.

I started to wire.

John looked impressed.

Tony was happy.

The tree looked much better.

I was pleased with the outcome.

The sun came out.

After a good day at the Doncaster boot sale, I now have more room for my trees, as the sun has come out I have just taken these two photos.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The trees look better with more room and the sunshine.

Natter night 24th September 2018.

I have almost recovered from our trip to Doncaster yesterday, which is just as well as I have just finished with my natter night.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Graham brought this Deshojo maple to work on.

Which just had a little wire added.

A bit better shape now.

Ken brought back this Spruce as it had been blown completely out of the pot during the storm last week.

It was potted up into this large mica pot and wired in, so it will not come out until we want it out.

The natter part of natter night.

Now one for Graham's wife Kirstie, this is where the chocolate tea cakes went.

They were nice.
