trimmed my Taiwan cherry tree. This tree seems to be growing very well.

done a twist to the premna cutting that I'm proud of..


Seems like my chinese elm misho is ready for some action too...hihi

About the lavender star that I have, I just let it grow wildly for a couple of weeks n it bloomed lots of flowers..


Then I started to trim n setting a shape..to this a cascading one

Bought this yesterday, looks like premna but the leaf is different

nice... how much you paid for it??

my cucur atap update after 2 weeks....

got lots of new shots growing... just water, no fetiliser yet..

I paid rm120 for it...

Just jet spray wash it off with water.
If it comes back again, wash again.
Your cedar is definitely not getting enough of open air and sunlight.

Good work Zabel. But....head too big like some of my boxwood...Heavy Head.

That is Murraya paniculata microphyll from Thailand.
If you observe carefully, the leaves are just like the normal Murraya but real mini in size.
Murraya in direct Chinese translation is call " nine mile good frequent" 'coz when it bears flower
the frequent is so strong that can smell "nine miles" away. Is it true??

good work g400, keep it up !

Mind I say, is time to do some maintenance in order to keep it in original shape.

Title : My Stump.

If anybody has saved a stump, or given by some body else, or from your big old tree,
no matter what specie, what size and shape, or something you has post up here before
and like to have an update, please join in to post your photos up. If you have kept some progressive
photos of your stump up to your present stage you are most welcome to share out.



This is one of my Wrighthia "sui mui" stump given by my neighbor 3 years ago, I've done nothing
more than trim and cut back the branches. I've decided to give it an initial shape on this carefree Sunday.



and some wiring works....still far from it's destination to become a bonsai.

Hi..

sory but I am really noob for this Bonsai thing.
Just impressed with yours .. so I would like to grow one.
may I know what kind of tree that u r planting (in the pic) and where can i get it?
and did u plant it from very2 small tree into this one?

thanks a lot..

locally its call cucur atap, or 'frangrance pine' i bought it from Sanfong, nope i bought it oledi in bonsai state.
Hope that helps...

thanks a lot..will start finding the pokok cucur atap
sory but another question..can we just use the "dawai besi" to shape the tree?

thx ye

i tot most/everyone here using wire to shape the trees?

oo...bcoz read in the forum where they specify some aluminum thingy so i just curious if using wire will harm the tree
thx a lot

haha, i'm using aluminium wire here..another alternative is copper wire, but i don't seem to see it in the shop around
btw, i never thought wiring could be so hard. my first time wiring last time took me more than 1 and a half hour

it must be hard
is there any "pantang larang" should we obey during wiring?

Hi anevilx, welcome

There is no rules on wiring and bending of your tree.
But is whether your tree can take the wiring and bending or not?
If you over bend the trunk or branches of your tree, you will hear cracking sound and...
Steel wire is not advisable to be used because it will rust.
Aluminium wire is recommended not only it won't rust but also easy to unwire when your tree trunk
has grown tight.
Cucur attap is quite a delicates to handle if your are a beginner. I'll say you should go for some easy
species like Wrighthia "sui mui" ficus or boxwood which is much cheaper to begin with.
