Natter night 12th August 2019.

Sorry my post is a little late today, but here it is.

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

Kevin brought this newly bought Hornbeam to show us.

It had moss growing up the trunk, so I gave him the special tool to remove it, { an old tooth brush }

A nice tree which will only get better.

Now back to this Hinoki that was started last week.

Kevin decided to create a Mother and Son image, so started to wire. We got the Son part almost done.

Kevin will wire the other part next Monday.

A good start to becoming a Bonsai.

Hooray !.

Hooray.

The rain has stopped at last, but for how long ?

Squamata Juniper.

Just finished a long overdue job of dewiring this Squamata Juniper.

As well as dewiring it was also given a slight clip and a clean up and another coat of lime sulpher again.

Only one or two branches have not set yet, but a small amount of new wire will sort that out.

Tree of the week No 5

 My tree of the week is a Boulevard Cypress.

Natter night 5th August 2019.

Only one tree to work on tonight, a Hinoki bought from a garden center.

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

Completely raw stock but very healthy.

New boy Kevin cleaned it out, with me supervising, ready to be wired.

Sorry no photos of him working on it.

A dull but warm night, so we worked in the garden once more

The company and banter was very good as always.

Tree of the week No 4.

My tree of the week is an Acer Palmatum.

Bonsai Thursday.

Today with Dave and Boxy we had another look at the largest of the Larch groups that had been worked on recently.

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

This is how it looked after the work was done two weeks ago.

First Boxy had a go 

Then Dave.

How it looks now, after some thick branches had been removed.

Getting better all the time.
