new pot for quince

At the Shun Ten I found this pot by Peter Krebs and immediately knew tha this was the final pot for my quince. It is very difficult to find the right pot if it is over a certain size. This is a huge pot.

new mugo pine nr. 2

This is not as good as the other one. It was styled already a couple of years ago and badly needs work on it now. This may not be a keeper.

new mugo nr. 1

This one I got in a trade yesterday. I think it has enormous potential. It can be restyled very soon. This will be a lot of fun.

third new Austrian black pine

This one looked the worst from the batch. But it was only because of the sick looking foliage wihch was was too long. And then it was in the wrong pot in the wrong position. After an hour's work it looks much better. It would improve still a lot if I wired it now. But after repotting and shortening the needles this tree now needs a couple of years to regain strength. This is a keeeper. Thre are not so many Austrian black pines of this quality and size (only 40 dcm long!) around.

second new Austrian black pine

This one has already been styled nicely a few aears ago but then was neglected for a few years. I got this in a trade and refurbished it in an hour. It is only 35 cm high, which is considered to be extremely small for this species. I like it very much, it is a keeper for sure.
