Some cascading and semi cascading boxwood materials for sharing.

This one was re potted in and Indian cooking pot.



The Indian cooking pot was broken......



Semi Cascading ...



Horizontal Cascading ?

Crossula ovata - Jude tree Update.

Sometime back in April 2013, this material was dug up at a corner of my garden and potted.



After one year+....



After re-potting and a little trimming, this is how it looks.

Hi CJ,

It's a succulent plant, easy to grow, half sun light condition, somebody put it indoor but near the window.

WoW! What a holiday season!
That means more time with my bonsai!

My Cascading Wrightia religiosa, I don't know why it's leaves are turning yellow, probably due the weather is too hot!
Something wrong with it's roots? or what?
Anyhow, it's time for repotting and some style improvement.



No sign of root problem so I presume it's the weather problem.



After some root pruning, wiring and branch adjustment, slight foliage trimming, then planted in a smaller cascading pot .....

Another cascading Wrightia religiosa, not only leaves started turning yellow colour but tree barks is also dryng up and cracking.



As usual, checking the roots...... seen ok



Did a little root pruning, apply some tree bark hormone to the cracked portion hoping that it will help, changed the soil materials and replanted back to the same pot.

Found this soyar cake fertilizer in one of the plant nurseries here.
Smell like chicken feed, 100% organic . Trying it out.

Hey bro, I believe it's still a nutritious food during famine.

Murraya Paniculata - Orange Jasmine

First step to become a bonsai.

At time of full bloom.



Flowering time over.



After a hard morning dug up work....



First round of trimming and planted in a big training pot.



Second round of trimming...... ...still too many branches.



........ ...final decision!



With almost 90% of the foliage chopped off, I think it might take up to 2 months for new shoots to
appear and up to a year before an initial styling can be done.

This time compare to the pencicah cili padi sos.

Hi Everybody check this out!

Semi cascading West Indian cherry - Malpighia emarginata.



Transferred to a bonsai pot and feed well after 3 months.

Ooh... running of of stock!
I'm actually thinking of sometimes within the week I might drop at Sanfong to buy another bag.
It seen like this half a bag I'm having at the moment has become something "precious".
Sorry bro, not selling my volcanic soil but if you managed to buy somewhere, please let me know.

Working On Garden Material again - Casuarina

The Casuarina tree that I've in the material yard.
Air layered 4 branches a couple of months ago, but only 3 branches made it.



Here's the results.

First one, long branch, doesn't look impressive.





Second one, big and bushy, cut and reduced size.



Third one, smallest of all the 3.

Garden Material con't - Juniper shimpaku







This is a young 3 years old juniper propagandized from branch cutting.
It has only a 3/4 in diameter trunk, big busy foliage but good looking semi cascading shape.
By right it should be allowed to grow longer on ground to achieve bigger trunk size.
But on second though, it's not bad to train it into a semi cascading or cascading bonsai.
And so potted, let it first grow steadily in the pot then initial shaping will start.

Know how much they are selling?

An Old Juniper.





This is a very old unknown specie of Juniper. Diameter of trunk at base is approx 3.5 ins.
A part of the tree bark shrunk, dried and drop off by itself. there are plenty of dry branches for dead wood or shari.
The pot used look too deep compare to the trunk.
This is my first step in trying to train this old Juniper to become a bonsai with sharis, suitable proportion of foliage in compare with
the trunk and eventually repot into a suitable pot.
