Re: [Sno] Berberis
Amazing what a nudge will do . Repotted and brought this tree inside last friday today started pushing new growth almost immediately .
I have another one which is staying out outside its covered in snow so still dormant .

Re: [Sno] Berberis
This tree has settled into its new pot since early September and has been pushing new growth regularly .I really like the pot tree combo but after this comp, I may put it back into a 'pond' pot and let it run to thicken the branches up a bit . I am tempted to leave it till after leaf drop so I can see it in autumn color . Stands about 12 cm

Re: [Sno] Berberis
It's a little bit leggy and it still needs to thicken the branches . But the Autumn colors are glorious .

Re: [Sno] Berberis
Lovely little tree and interesting to note the difference in response between the one inside and the one left out

Re: [Sno] Berberis
Epic colour.
Few of my trees coloured better than usual this year too?

One of the fabulous things about growing bonsai is as you get old and decrepit your trees get old and beautiful

Re: [Sno] Berberis
I’ve started to repot . This one was put into a nursery flat last year and left to grow . It grew . I cut the branches in autumn to store for winter . Anyway today .
I’ll keep on repeating .You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

Re: [Sno] Berberis
Hi Kirky . Basically in the nursery flats I use old ‘cleaned up ‘ bonsai mix . Pumice ,diatomite ,zeolite and gravel I add some bark chips . It’s very coarse , over summer they sit on gravel beds and the roots are allowed to escape into it . They are mulched heavily .
It’s kind of like sieve growing ,
