My New Journey to JBP
I finally bit the bullet and started a new journey on working on big quality pines. I’ve never thought I would have this opportunity but i’m glad I did. I sold some of my trees and upgraded to higher level trees.
These are my recent works. I’m still in the process of learning and we never stop learning new things anyway.

Re: My New Journey to JBP
Hi PJames,
A series of wonderful progressions. Well done.
Your post, along a number of recent posts by other members of this forum, has convinced me that I would be better off to move from a large range of experimental pre-bonsai to a smaller array of quality stock to work on.
I guess we all get to that rubicon at some point - it’s just when we decide to cross it.
Cheers for the post.

Great collection of JBP's to be spending some quality relax time working with PJames. ...BIG! I bet they are helping to build confidence.
They look to be thriving under your care - super

Re: My New Journey to JBP
Thanks MJL. I already made that shift couple of years ago now. I started to sell my unwanted trees, although they are still good but I need to make room and extra cash to purchase new once. I sold some of my good ones as well. I still kept couple of the experimental pre-bonsai for trial and errors.MJL wrote:Hi PJames,

Re: My New Journey to JBP
Nice work Patrick! Every time I want to buy one of your pines someone beats me to it. Im still considering one of the larger JBPs you have for sale but i just recently bought a JBP from Hugh Grant
