Here's a quiz: the soil has been washed out on this ficus salicaria for most of this year, yet it's lush, healthy, green, and actively growing. The pot is only about 1/2" (12-1/2mm) deep on the inside. You can compare the scissors to see the height, trunk width etc. To paraphrase a favorite film, "How can this be?!" #bonsai #bonsaimaterial #bonsaiartist #bonsaitree #bonsaigarden #bonsailovers #bonsaiart #bonsailife (at Adam's Art and Bonsai Studio and Nursery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAu-zaugaHP/?igshid=qsfxylpff2j7

Here's a good exercise. Willow leaf ficus. Look at the first branch on the right, close up in second pic. The question: should it be lowered? The growth habit, as is, could be considered natural; a branch started growing up, and it shot up fast but then the top grew in, changing the branches growth habit out to the side to catch the sun. Leave it like it is or we could use the saw and turnbuckle technique to move it down to a more harmonious position? Keep in mind, this is a more natural design and not a "pine tree" style with downward 45° angle branches. #bonsai #bonsaitree #bonsaimaterial #bonsaigarden #bonsaiart @sprez112 (at Adam's Art and Bonsai Studio and Nursery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAd0fKSAF0W/?igshid=1f96ay1hcwsns

#KatherineCrabapple is so scab-prone yet scab-tolerant that its bark is one big beautiful canker. This young grafted branch is growing happily, no dead bits, but the bark already looks ancient. First year wood is smooth, but has plenty early scab legions. Note the contrast with the smooth Rome Beauty bark below the graft union.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ This bark, plus its thin twiggy growth, show #bonsai potential, so I’ve root grafted a couple scions.⁣ ⁣ #crabapples #malusbonsai #bonsaimaterial #applescab #madorchardist #vulturehill https://www.instagram.com/p/CKhLgP3l0D4/?igshid=1o1vkp0qia8xa

Rooting around the nursery last night, looking for something to work on, I found this dwarf schefflera. Chopped it down, sawed the roots, and stuck it in the pot. It might be heresy, but I sometimes think scheffs make better banyan style bonsai than ficus. #bonsai #bonsaimaterial #bonsaitree #banyanbonsai #banyantree #bonsaiart #bonsaigarden (at Adam's Art and Bonsai Studio and Nursery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CENnFAzAZ3e/?igshid=4psetkfy6545
