Malus x zumi Calocarpa. It has red fruit the size of peas. First time in a bonsai pot Malus halliana Parkmanii. First time in a bonsai pot Forsythia Malus floribunda Acer palmatum
Acer palmatum ''Orange Dream'' Acer palmatum ''Otome Zakura''

Wow, you are about a month ahead of my 'spring'!

I do have a couple of trident buds moving and some nice little quince flowers !

That Forsythia is beautiful!
Don't know if I've seen one of them before.

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

very nice collection you have there... If there was a "Jealous" emoji, i would use it...

Love your work Treeman 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 ?

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