Wow, it’s been a while since last posted. Life has been busy but bonsai has been still been ticking away in the background (mostly after dark / kids bed time). At the moment, re-potting is in full swing with the first warm days hinting at springs approach.

Looking at the last post I made, (https://nichigobonsai.com/2022/09/05/the-tree-previously-know-as-sonare/) I thought it only fitting to re-visit this tree as it was interesting to see how much this tree has developed in 12 months.

I re-potted it into a new shaped container which i think suits it more and gives it a little more root room, which in turn i hope converts to a season of healthy foliage growth to further fill out the silhouette.

2022 on the left and 2023 of the right. The grafts certainly seem to have taken well and are now thriving! I think i can comfortably say this is a (grafted) Itoigawa juniper now.

I have a bunch more re-potting posts to come which should give updates to some previously featured as well as some new to the blog trees. Until then……
