RMJ new shohin

This lovely little Rocky Mountain Juniper, Juniperus scopulorum, was collected in 2006 and later planted into the final pot IMMEDIATELY. In September 2009 the tree was styled for the first time. This one has a grand future, I think.

shohin larch and Japanese black pine

Two new acquisitions from a trade. Both shohin size, smaller than 25 cm, 10 inches.
They have both been neglected and were now styled in a rough, sketchy way. It is not important how they look now. All that was done was to bring them one step further. They will shine in a couple of years though.

the larch with the ax in Italy now

Mauro has not done much to it yet other than putting on Aakdama as top soil.
