21.01.2022 A white/five needle pine. This is a rough bark variety. Is a grafting stock plant. Is a bit difficult to go down the path of the classical style. After observing those that is growing in the field, what is there to say cant be style just like those beautifully growing pines in the field. So shall this be called the "natural" style or "dont know what to do style". Here is the before and after pictures. The pine that got worked on is the one on the right side of the two on the trolley.

17.01.2022 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThAqWn8BdtI Part 1 - Restructuring of a 50 year old Juniper from a semi-cascade to informal upright style.

16.01.2022 After repotting the fig two of the young guys help to move this neglected cascade fig to the mobile table for me. Clean and defoliated it, but could not repot because there wasn't a suitable pot, as the old pot was split by the root growth. The pot was the original mica pot. Some wiring is need to fine tune the branches in position.

16.01.2022 Have you met our mascot Lup? When we bought him, the breeder gave us some information on the best way to keep him healthy. What they did NOT do, is give us all the information on how to train him to sit, obey commands, do tricks and be a show dog. In the same fashion, if you purchase a tree from us, we will give you some basic information on how to keep your tree alive and healthy. What we cant do, is teach you how to turn your tree into a showpiece. This is why we run courses and sell books. This is an art form that we have spent decades training in and refining and we simply cannot transfer that information to you in a 5 minute chat. We hope our customers can be understanding of this situation.
