That Forsythia is beautiful!
Don't know if I've seen one of them before.
One of the fabulous things about growing bonsai is as you get old and decrepit your trees get old and beautiful

Those are some great trees! Given that some are first time in bonsai pot-how long have they been in grow pots for?

Love your work Treeman :tu: :tu: :tu: Really enjoy that first multi trunk Japanese maple . I see you threat grafting for extra roots ?

I have a clump style Forsythia still in training from a old tree i dug from the garden . I notice there growth habit is very straight unless you get onto it . Did you wire this tree early ?

Regards
Matt

Probably around 4 years in a pot and another 4 in the ground.

Matt, I hardly ever wired this tree. Mainly just pinching new growth to force division then maybe a bit of wire here and there to position. Would you believe this tree is about 25?? They just don't thicken in a pot! Ground thickening would be the way to go with this species.

Very nice trees. :clap:
My favourite would have to be the multi trunk maple though the last malus is flowering beautifully and is very close second.
