Spent some time today working on a long-term bonsai project. For the last few years, I’ve been pruning and training some in-ground plants for eventual repotting as bonsai. From left to right, I’ve got crepe myrtle, dogwood, some kind of maple, some random plant I dug up years ago, and one of the hibaku hackberry trees.
I dug all five up and out with a spade, and set them aside, then created a little bed from concrete pavers and some leftover tile.
I then roughly root pruned each tree, and replanted them in their new root training bed. In another year or two, I’ll pull them out and start potting them up.
