Yamadori Shohin Potential
Posted: January 27th, 2016, 5:53 pm
When we generally talk about yamadori it is usually about large trees. Now I for one like a good big tree but recently I have had the opportunity to dig a few potential shohin. I use the word yamadori loosely because none of these came from the mountains but they are all dug either in 2014 or 2015 and I hope that at least a couple will make the grade into a bonsai pot.
The plum dug from a local garden in 2014 has had some work done to it and is coming along
The English Elm has some size about the trunk so I hold out hope for this one, it was dug "by the side of the road" in 2015
The plum dug in 2015 was in the same area as the Elm and I thought it was another Elm, but .........
The Pyracantha was dug in 2015 from a grass path where it was mowed on a regular basis
I hold out great hope for all of them as they all have good established root systems and appear to be doing quite well.
