Well this has been the last couple of months of digging and root pruning of all the ground grown stock . With close to 1500 plants its a task and a half lifting
, sorting , root pruning ,
selectively pruning and placing back into the ground in planter bags
pots or simple back into the grow beds 
. Once again various configurations of Crab Apples , Cherries , Horn beams , Japanese Maples 
, Trident Maples , Acer Campertre , and Acer Sycamore . The Pine and Junipers have had some re-potting which is continuing . All have again been set as clump styles 
, multi fused trunks , 
raft styles , root over rock , just to name a few . The Atlas Cedars have been removed from the grow beds and potted up 
.These are some of the 100 plants / trunks collected this winter 
The grow beds continue to grow in size as material is collected at every oportunity , these Trident were destined for destruction from a roadside burn off .
I managed to save 25 large trunks unfortunately over 300 were burnt before i actually found the time to dig them out 
New benches have recently been made and the Bonsai area’s have been re-designed for a safer , elevated area for our new puppy to run around .
He has a bad habit of playing with the pots and ripping tree’s out . The joys or being a juvenile delinquent puppy has its draw backs
but they are definitely a mans best friend .The Panda Bear turned into a polar bear and is as rough as a grizzly bear .
