Newly aquired Erin Bonsai Pots
European Larch
My new larch in all its glory. Succesful yamadori from last summer/fall. Tree have been worked on 3 years before taken up from the ground. Originally a tree four meters high tree with almost no tapering at all. See earlier history of the tree to consider the development. Pot by Erin Bonsai.
First Repotting of the season
Before and after images of the Norwegian Maple, a bit early in the season considering the traditionally unstable weather we use to have in March. Decision made based on the last forecasts, the hardy species and that the buds looks ready to burst.
Finally this "stick-in-a-pot" is beginning to look like something. The new pot is fresh from the stove of Erin Bonsai.
