Few more repottings I've been pushing, the weather plays along so nicely atm. Some trees I'm selling on behalf, just got new pots. Some collected trees from last year, Plums, Elms, Privets. Set now for next season. 🤗 the last picture is a coprosma silver knight, I done up a few month ago, taking shape slowly.

Ordinary Plum, collected last year, if I remember right, may be the year before. This tree is just doing perfect, quick repot, checking on the roots, all good, new bedding, good season ahead.
Happy days 🤗

Cedar Elm, first year after collection, was a chicken foot tree, grown on a big root of another tree. Had a tiny root to the left and 3 fat ugly ones to the right.
I addressed this today, it had grown me nice new roots from the left, I was able to cut off the 3 fat fellas today. Working towards a nicer nebari.
Still early days, boring tree, good potential though. 🪴🤗💚

I got over 10 reactions on one of my posts last week! Thanks everyone for your support 🚀🚀🚀Fb reminds me to celebrate my 10 fans, whereby 5 probably competition, and 2 reacted with a laughing emoji.

Anyway to everyone who really likes what I'm doing, a massive thank you.

Here comes my Camellia, same here storms in spring did her no favors, the top roots took fair bit of damage, I was able to lower the tree by around 3-4cm. I broke one branch in the process, bit annoyed, can't change it tho.

I reduced 4 trunks back to 3 after collection around 2-3 years ago.
Just removed wire and give her a moment to breath. Beautiful moment in times.
This year I will be able to tell her colors 🤗

Smashing into repottings "Captain Davy Jones" - Portuguese Laurel
These storms in spring have been sooo rough, heaps of top roots took damage and birds did their dirty deeds too. I was able to lower the tree by around 2cm in the pot. Its a Selwyn Hatrick and just suits it so well. I wounded the tree in those pockets applied rooting hormone and hope for the best.
I was blessed to have David De Groot working with me on this tree in 2023. Doing a first initial styling and gave it major directions. I’ve shortened the 2 branches on the right massive last year, the tree is still catching up filling those spaces. Still we will archive a far more compact design in the end. I love this tree, its this little bit different and comes with heaps of character.
