The repotting season has started. Deciduous Shohin bonsai are lined up. Where repotting is needed it is executed now. It is time just before the leafs opens, showing full activity in the tree. Only trees that have a rootball making a health problem are repotted. Or when a new pot is a priority because of …
Spring means growth. Lots of growth. Especially with this seasons warm weather blessing us with sun and heat. It is about being on time with pinching, so especially shohin do not outgrow themselves, unless you need strength and extending branch length. My old shohin bonsai European Yew, Taxus baccata, is in a phase where it is …
The nice thing about being up early (if you can’t sleep anyway) is the quietness and light. I really enjoy taking a tour around the garden in the morning, viewing bonsai setting new growth rapidly at this time of the year. At the moment the Deshojo maple leaves are looking great with their spring …

Spring is ahead of us in a future not so far away. Thanks for 2016 – looking forward to 2017.
