A start at keeping good records…
Originally posted on Scratch Bonsai:
I’ve been thinking for a while about having a blog to organise my photos and share the progress of the bonsai trees and material in my garden. Up to now I’ve been creating folders and sub folders of dated pictures and organising them on the computer but it’s getting frustrating as it involves jumping through a lot of hoops to… Continue reading A start at keeping good records…
First Look: Han Kengai Yew Project
Originally posted on Bonsai & Yamadori from Tony Tickle:

Changing the Position of a Hawthorn Bonsai when re-potting
Originally posted on Bonsai & Yamadori from Tony Tickle:
I was never happy with the viewing position of the tree in the pot, I commissioned Gordon Duffett to create a new pot that would enable me to rotate the tree and make the image more dynamic.

How to re-pot a Raft Hawthorn Bonsai
Originally posted on Bonsai & Yamadori from Tony Tickle:
This Hawthorn raft is probably the tree that most people in the bonsai world know me by, I collected the tree way back in 1991 and after establishing in a box for 4 years the tree has only been re-potted 3 times. In this repot, the angle of the tree was changed by 5 degrees. Rotating… Continue reading How to re-pot a Raft Hawthorn Bonsai
