Tis the season.

Season,s greetings to all who visit my blog.

Itoigawa Juniper.

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

Showing signs of Winter, but doing well.

Hemlock.

My Hemlock is looking quite good at the moment.

Update on my last post.

A comment on my last post was how do I protect from to much water ?

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

My shade house, it does not look up to much but is about three meters square with a poly carbonate roof, netting on two sides and no door.

It gives cover from the rain but allows plenty of light and ventilation for my trees.

A little bit cold.

An amazing sight this morning in the garden after a very cold night.

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

As you can see I have put all my trees into their winter storage [ not ]

I like my trees to go through the natural process of  nature.

Chinese Juniper, with a little frosting.

Hinoki Cypress as well.

Squamata juniper.

I do however give them protection from excess water.

Bonsai Thursday.

Today was mainly a discussion day with Dave and Boxy about a Scots Pine.

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

It was discussed as to what should be the front of the tree and how it should be styled.

It was decided that it should be potted at a different angle and a change of pot.

This could be a new front.

A nice twist and old bark.

I also did some more work on the deadwood on this Itoigawa Juniper.

A good morning's work.

Natter night 25th November 2019.

A really good night once more, with some good work done and plenty of banter.

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

I think my visitors bring out the best in Boxy and myself in respect of departing with knowledge that we have learned over time. 

Gibby and Bob still wiring.

After Gibby left Graham carried on learning.

Kevin was also wiring, this time on a Hornbeam.

Ken 2 brought back this Juniper to have some stronger wire added.

Which Boxy did.

I then tweaked it into shape, a nice starter image.

Ken M did some work on a nice Scots pine.

Kevin's Hornbeam, taking shape.

The Scots pine is almost wired now.

A very very good night.
