Mitch, Frank Doug and I took a road trip today to collect Virginia Pine.

The weather was perfect and the trees were better than we hoped. We dug some and marked others to collect in Feburary.

Besides Virginia pine we found chestnut Oak, Hop hornbeam American Linden, Hawthorn Spp. and even some nice Blueberry. All in all a great trip.

This is a bonsai I have had for about 10 years. two years ago Marco did some detail wiring and suggested I change the planting angle. I took his advice when i re potted the tree into a pot i made last winter.

I like the new angle and the shallow pot very much.

Hi, I havent posted in a while ,work has ben good. Anyway here are a couple of pictures of an iris in my garden. I think it is Ensata but I’m not certain. Any body know?

hope your gardens are doing well.

Here is a picture of new cones forming on Picea Abies ” acrocona” in my garden.

I think these are as beautiful  as any bloom on a flowering plant

.

Looks like it will be a wonderful weekend here in Ohio. I hope you all have a chance to get outside and enjoy it.

I will be at the nursery all weekend catching up on all the projects that need to be done. This will probably be the last weekend safe to dig and bare root trees, so any of you with trees in the field are welcome to stop by and pic them up.

If you  stop by  just to visit and work on bonsai that would be fun.

Have a great weekend.

Thanks to Mitch for sharing his Hidden rock hunting spot with me.  We had a great time and got some really nice Sui-seki.

The weather is cold and rainy , perfect for  dogging bonsai in the field. I have dug trees for People who tagged trees last year, so they are ready for pick up any time.

Doug was here and picked up his Zelkova and a winged Elm. He has already started to style them and I’m anxious to see them finished. Mitch picked out a nice Red maple( Acer Rubrum) to add to his collection of native bonsai.

There are pictures on the bonsai page.Thanks for stopping by guys.

Well it sure feels like Spring out side but it seems too warm too fast. That makes it a difficult to dig trees for the season, the buds are already beginning to swell on many.

I will be at the nursery Sat. and Sun. 13 & 14 from 9 to 2 if you would like to pick up trees that were taged last year.

Email me at rob@newworldhorticulture.com if you would like to stop by.

As for landscaping, Thankfully I am busy.All the winter snow made it impossible to get most projects finished and are still waiting on me. I will get to these as quickly as possible so they wont hold up Spring projects.

I had some time after work today so I wired this Hornbeam i collected about 15 years ago. It has been in this pot for 5 years and will be repotted this weekend. I really dont enjoy wiring so much and this took me about 3 hours. I Think it was worth it. I also found a new front and see some areas that dont work for me so i will continue to refine it.
