Birch "The White Lady"

Prunus spinosa

Cornus mas "Attila"

Fraxinus ornus "Jan"

Malus

Ulmus

I would like to share a few pictures of this elm. Leaves on sacrifice branch started to yellow and fall off. It was time to cut it off. 

Branch was about 2 m long as you can see it standing behind the tree

Winners of the thickness contest are Mimo and Vlad. Send me your pictures if you like to apply for the promised reward. 

Always try to keep branches close to the potential cutting point so you have some to fall back to. It is much more certain the tree will not drop the branch after cutting back. In case I would not have this branch there I would make the removing in the spring. 

Betula No.2

Cornus mas "Vesna"

Dogwood slowly turning red of the leaves but still, I expect more colours. Flowers buds are ready in abundance for next spring.

Quercus pubescens No.4

Acer palmatum

Carpinus betulus No.14 "Old Sam"

Birch "The White Lady"

During the first week of September third of the foliage turned yellow and fall off during subsequent days, Now it looks more sparsely.

Wild rose

A couple of years ago, during early spring I was repotting my big trees in full swing. Two of my kids were running around and asking to do the same stuff as daddy. My daughter took an empty pot from shelve and asked what plant she can repot. There were few wild roses in bowls which came to my garden with some of the yamadori trees from wild. So I gave it to my kids and let them play with repotting. They are sitting on the bench since then. This year they produced first flowers and now fruits as well. No real bonsai but a source of joy for sure.
