MY WISTERIAS

Flowering started so here are few pics of over 30 years old mother tree grown from cutting my great grandmother took from church´s garden and was cared for by my father in his garden until I collected it last year. But before that I made some 4 airlayers and here is first of them too :)

APRIL

Very busy month in my penjing heaven and though I think I shared everything on facebook, this blog was neglected bigtime. So here are few pics of what was going on.

All the trees are out on their spots

I got me an advert for my eshop on my car, built the new stand for the new birch  penjing

Made my wife to pose with newly collected beech

Went to my favourite place

and collected few pines including this giant with shallow rootball from my favourite place

Wired primary branches of this big chinese elm

Moved my triple trunk pine onto a slab after 3 years in a plastic crate (no more planting into crates for me - original rootball was too dense and water wasn´t able to penetrate it, so the substrate at the bottom and sides of the crate was nearly dry, as sun dried it easily from all sides)

And here are some pics of the new growth, some flowers etc...

Newly collected blacthorn without any roots rooted easily in a black bag

First flowers appeared on this blackthorn collected 2 years ago

Flowers on a berberis penjing

Hawthorn carved by Harry last autumn growing like weed

It seems that this acer palmatum dissectum collected recently from a friend´s garden didn´t even notice the collection and is growing strongly

And new big pine collected few days ago again with myself and Rea for size reference :)
