Øyvinds trees 1
A couple of days ago me and Øyvind gave this atropurpureum (originally from Jan Olav) an overhaul. It grows insanely fast and needs constant pinching and pruning. Here are some before / after - images. 
Øyvinds trees 2
Here is another trainer acer that Øyvind got last year. I think its an Ozakazuki. It has a nice phat trunk and seems vigorous. A lot of new shoots on this one.
Its growing.
Dunno what this is, but its growing the same
(edit 7 april, 2009) According to Mirek Halatin at the int. forum it must be a Cotoneaster. http://www.internationalbonsaiforum.com/index.php?topic=282.msg1704#msg1704
Beech workshop report
New soil and a new pot for the beech. The root mass after just one year was not by far as impressive as the birch, but I guess this is a matter of the species. Not 100% sure about this pot, but as the only decent alternative at the time it will do. Admit the improvement. Next repotting of this tree will be more focused on this. To the master I am just a beginner, to the beginner I am still a beginner.
Birch workshop report
Five trees were repotted at the workshop. The birch has been repotted, later this year it may be subject of hard pruning, but for now its OK.
International Bonsai Forum thread about this tree.
Birch, what to do
This is another yamadori from early summer 2008. It has responded well to its new semi-draining environment. When found it was standing in very soggy ground so maybe it was a good idea with this soil. 50 % cat litter and 50 % plant-compound. There is so many new shoots and starting branches so high hope is involved with this one.
Tomorrow it will be taken this to the workshop at miljøparken. Hopefully someone can help me figure out what and if anything should be done with this now.
I have also posted it on the international bonsaiforum in hope of getting some tips.
