ITOIGAWA NUMBER 4

Little semicascade styled few months ago was slip-potted into more appropriate pot.
I would still like to find even better one, taller and more narrow.
Best thing is that it is growing nicely and the green foliage goes well with the blue pot.

Yamadori birch

Top of the trunk died off after collection on this yamadori pine from last year and only one bud appeared in the middle of it.
It grew strong for the first season and it started off very well this spring too.
That´s why I decided to give this tree an initial styling.
I am getting obvious responses on social media sites as - it need more taper, etc.. :)
I know.
But I see this tree in miniature as it could be in nature very well pictured too - dead trunk, young branch forming a new crown.
Yes, it needs taper. But tell it to this young branch. It wants to grow and it will, eventually thickening up a new trunk leader.
I might keep some sacrifice branch to help it with it.
Or I might not and will enjoy it as it is - just a young branch forming a new crown on a trunk, that was once massive and it still need some catching up to do.

DETAIL WIRING MY BIGGEST CARPINUS BETULUS

It took me 2 days with my handicapped hand.
But I did it :)

PENJING WITH BIRCHES DESTROYED

I had a little accident with this one 
While carrying it out of it´s winter quarters with my dad I slipped and penjing landed on me while hitting the side of the little wall and braking into pieces, cutting my little finger, hitting my leg and face.
So I ended up having emergency surgery at the end of what was really a nice day.
Few branches broke off the trees, but nothing serious, now I only have to save for the new marble plate and start over.
Hand should be healed in some 2 weeks.
