Trident Maple

This is my new, and first, Trident Maple aquired from Ben at the NIBS30 recently in Belfast. I love the thick trunk, big size and great colour. Just now, the colour is getting stronger each day. I’m told it’ll get even better. The nebari need a little work and Mark has suggested some approach grafting as one way… Continue reading Trident Maple
more pines

Collected another few pines but I think it may be a bit early for them, we’ll see.. Potted them up in grit with a bit of sphagnum on top, plus a little bit of mycorizzha in each too. Continue reading more pines
semi cascade pine

I think this is some sort of Mugo Pine, but not sure. I just repotted, and was shocked how few roots were in such a big pot. There was a big void beneath the tree where the original rootball was.

Some have been butchered, some strangled, some almost murdered and some neglected. My aim will be to clean them, feed them and try to make them healthy… Continue reading assembling bonsai material

This new garden has been an empty field for several years. Neglected, it has filled with Rushes, Briars and Furze bushes. I won’t clear them all, but I will find space for Acers, Pines, Birches and so many more along side the Ash, Whitethorn, Holly, Beech, Willow and Blackthorn. And I want an Orchard, a Vegetable garden, a… Continue reading first post
Ash – Fraxinus excelsior
Originally posted on Sally's Bridge Bonsai:
This ash was collected about 4 years ago and I’ve been reducing the roots and branches since. I took the chance this winter to repot to a smaller pot and begin to look at building ramification over the coming years. Continue reading Ash – Fraxinus excelsior
