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.

My yamadori 2020

Hi everyone, I would like to show you my 3 new Acer Campestre I collected in the bushes during my holiday last week.
I found them to be very easy trees and I see great future for these :)

MY MAME FICUS

Grown from a cutting I took some 2 years ago.
Yesterday it was repotted into smaller and nicer pot and I also changed it´s position from semi cascade.

STYLING ITOIGAWA NUMBER 5

Another Itoigawa styled yesterday (number 5) and today I moved it into a pot with minimum root cuts.
It woudn´t look bad in a regular pot too, but I felt it would shine more in a shalow landscapy one as a penjing.
I might move the top of the main tree a bit more cause it looks a bit straight on the pics, but live in 3D it looks pretty good so I can´t get myself to do it as when I hold it in my hand and see it, I feel like I would just spoil it if I messed with it any more.
We´ll see how it looks when it fills a bit :)

CARPINUS BETULUS - WATER AND LAND PENJING

Tree collected 4 years ago, last 2 years partially defoliated twice during the growing season.
Ramification increasing nicely due to that, but it is necessary also to let the sun into the crown, cause those inner branches die off quite fast if you let the outer ones grow freely.
This is indeed already quite controversial tree and landscape - since I published it after creation, when I was doing bonsai just 1 year, I am getting so many advices as to what to do with it, although my vision is clear from the start and the tree is getting exactly where I want it to be. Not that I do not listen to advices, thanx to Vlad I finally did cut the branch that was looking pretty straight in the pics and I was thinking of it, but never did before.
But if I obeyed all the advices I got so far, I would be left probably just with the roots.
One wouldn´t advice me to create at all, because I do not know the alphabeth yet and I am already writing a novel. Other people would remove the back trunk, another the tallest right one, and another would leave just the base and make it a shohin. Maroš would put it into a bonsai pot :)
Well lads, love it or hate it, this is Mimo´s creation and Mimo likes it as it is and where it goes :)
