AusBonsai

thought id add another thread to cover a few shohin in development im working on. Some trees ive started, others from nurserys etc. only the zelkova is bordering over 20cm.
more to follow

last is where some of them live next to my larger ones. No where near pups collection of shohin but i have some time to try to get there hope you enjoy and feel free to add your own if you wish.

Mine would only ruin the thread Some great work there Noah great stuff in such a short time. I can't wait to see your collection in a few more years

Very impressive Noah and may I say I love the setup that you've got. I wish I had as much space. If I were a Bonsai I would be happy to live there!!

mate its not as big as it looks. its down the side and only about 2 metres wide by 20 long. I have a pond etc that takes up space so its a little cramped but im trying work it out ( maybe offload a few trees)

heres a couple more shots
its cramped but works ok.
hers one of many stumps i currently have to

Noah I hate to contracdict you but.

Yours are as good if not better in some cases than mine. Also 23 is the cut of for Shohin.

You have a collection to be very proud of mate. Thank you for showing us. Pup

pup ,

your been modest mate to say the least but thanks for the encouragment i didnt know 23cm was the cut off, guess my zelkova fits in too last 12 months ive really fallin in love with shohin. Alot of new people who first see a large developed bonsai are in awe of it but theres something about holding one in the palm of your hand i think, not to mention my back thanks me and im only young again thanks mate.

Never modest just honest always. I know the feeling with backs arthritis.

I sometimes think Shohin are big thats why I have the Mame and Shito just in case

Unreal collection Noah! Im so inspired by looking at your bonsai.
You should be real proud

I was waiting for someone to bring that up. I get reminded by my GF much to her disgust about that. I ended up building her one out the back. Still hasent solved the look i get. Round one still to the trees though

Hey noah, I like the figs and am impressed by the progress of the 2 Elms and the Zelkova. You bloody northerners and your warm climate!. Your taste in pots serves your trees well to mate. I am jealous of your layout too, I may have more trees, but your use of space kicks my butt .

You will have to come down to Mexico and bring your hammer and nails, I'll supply the wood and the Tequilla and we'll have a working bee! Better make the tequilla after the construction!!!

Cheers

mate all for the building but not sure on the tequilla. Had a nasty experiance with it once, havent touched it since. Bourbon however is a different story. The zelkovas seems to enjoy it up here. They prob handle the heat better than the elms? and grow quick. Always on the lookout for more when your ready . Glad you like the pots, i spend abit of time trying to match trees up. Hopefully most of the time i get it right.

p.s wait till the end of summer and ill post some of your figs up hehe

Noah,
You'll need a good lick of sour mash to fight off the chills down here, I'll happilly drink yankee scotch with ya
