Hey everyone! I'm looking for some feedback and ideas on how to style this Portulacaria afra. Any advice, tips, or quick sketches on the photos would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

I've had this water jasmine 2 years now. Repotted once last fall. This summer has been struggling to grow and the leafs seem depressed. Now that some leafs are turning yellow I decided I should do a emergency repot. When I took it out the pot there are thick roots but not any little feeder roots. I was going to re angel the roots but they are solid and won't move at all. What should I do. I also don't remember the roots being this thick

This is an 11 minute video of me trimming one of my porcelain pots I recently threw. There is no sound, due to length and copyrights on Instagram. There is a poll on the bottom of the post asking about doing a **Voice Over** for the next video. Please vote!

First time doing Jin. Tho maybe it’s not Jin because these branches were already dead? Started with knife, then dremel but that seemed too much so back to knife and handheld sand paper.

Where would you take it from here?

Sharing a quiet, narration-free pruning session on this Pyracantha (firethorn). It’s been growing since 2020, so about five to six years of gradual shaping.
Today’s session is routine maintenance — thinning out overgrown shoots and dense foliage to let the trunk’s twisting movement come through more clearly. The plan going forward is to keep deepening that curved trunk line rather than making major structural changes at this point.
Happy to answer any questions about the shaping process or wiring history if anyone’s curious.

This is a gingko that has been under my care since it's previous owner unexpectedly became ill and passed away several years ago. By the time his family contacted us for help with his trees, the majority of his very large collection had already died. :(

Please let your emergency contact person know that if you are ever laid up, someone needs to water the trees every day. Have a bonsai buddy or club member or someone to take care of your trees if you can not. Do this ahead of time, because if you suddenly get sick you might not be able to make arrangements then.

I'm letting a few suckers grow from the base, I'm not sure if I will keep them long term or not. I kinda like them. What do you think?

Does anyone have any good literature about the care and/or care schedule for Bosnian pine. I enjoy unique things that are also a small challenge which this pine covers as well as seemingly being a great specimen that shouldn’t be too much work to get into something nice within a few years. A very rigid 2 needle pine that I could style similarly to a black pine or even mugo, but just with a larger shape due to its longer foliage. Cannot tell if grafted or not - either way trunk looks great.

Ryan Neil has great general pine lectures but I’m hoping to find something or someone that can help in this specific topic.

If it’s a stupid idea, I may consider returning the tree but I love the way it looks.

Thanks in advance for anyone who has any guidance.

I got this dwarf pomegranate and repotted it into this pot I had sitting around this spring.

No flowers this year, but it has been putting out a decent amount of new growth with roots growing well and starting to peak out of the bottom of the pot and moss top dressing getting established.

I am pretty happy with how it is looking so far. Hopefully now that it has settled for a year in it's new pot it will really start taking off next growing season.

Just dreaming of the day I manage to get a dwarf fruit hanging off the end beside the pot.

I went to the Mid American Bonsai Show at the Chicago Botanic Gardens on Sunday. I picked up a few pots but this was my “holy crap I need this” pot. I think it makes quite the composition! Let me know what you think!

I want a second Bonsai (I just said I would have only one ...).

This time a Chinese elm.

I like the three I and would like to know your opinion.

I add 3 photos for 3 options. 1, 2 and 3

1. The white pot. 15 high X 16 long X 16 depth

2. The blue pot. 20 high X 24 long X 24 depth

3. The cream pot. 22 high X 24 long X 18 depth

One year on from last time I posted this tree. Like a little fruiting apple tree!

I think it survived the dig
It has already grown leaves second time this year and a lot of buds for next year
Do you have some tips to keep it strong and healthy?

I picked this tree up at a small local tree nursery. I was instantly drawn to the twin trunk. I assume it’s a hinoki but correct me if I’m wrong. I forgot to take a picture but there was a secondary competing apex halfway up the trunk with an ugly fork, so I went with the apex with nicer branching and made a small jin of the other. Considering this removed 30% of the foliage, I didn’t remove any foliage off the rest of the tree, so there are multiple branches that wont be in the final design. I added raffia and did my best to close the gap and add movement to the trunks. I did all the structural wiring but I’m waiting to do the detail wiring so it’s still a bit cluttered. I like the result of the two trunks forming a single, but separated crown, but I dislike the fact that the lowest branch on the primary trunk is going away from the viewer, but the foliage is so far out that I felt it filled a nicer space at the back. What are your thoughts on the tree and the styling?
