Field maple repotted

Field Maple, between 20 to 25 years.
Repotted a few days ago, and pruned back heavily in upper 3rd. It had too many long stiff branches with awkward angles, elas quite typical for field maple. I need new ramification on younger branches too. Now I can start over. It has many buds on trunk as well so there will be enough choice.
Thin akadama toplayer, underneath a mix of zeolite-vermiculite-lavasand-cocopeat.

Common Hazel - repotted

This one I repotted a couple of days ago.
Harvested in april 2014 from a wild border alongside a private driving lane, where all shrubs are cut back drastically every few years.

Still in a mica training pot, because this was the first very drastic rootpruning since harvesting. Next year or in 2 years, it could use a nice roughly shaped slab with diversity in height or with a bit of a crescent in it. I'll uplift it some more then and roots should be more visible too.

Rowan #1 repotted

From a seedling in 1997. In all these years it has only spent 2 seasons in the ground.
Repotted a few days ago. From a blueglazed round pot to a wider blueglazed and a bit more shallow pot. Still nothing special and it really could use a handmade pot, maybe next year.

Rowan #2 repotted

Repotted a few days ago.
Common (European) Rowan or Sorbus Aucuparia.
Harvested in april 2014 from a wild border alongside a private driving lane, where all shrubs are cut back drastically every few years.
After only 2 years in trainingpot, with 1 pruning each year, it is ready for its first pot.
Will be a nice little bonsai in a few years, and rather unique because the species is not common in bonsai.

Red Current repotted

Tiny Red Current (variety) from a cutting back in 2016 (one of my first steps into 'bonsai'). It has never been planted out in the garden, I've always kept it in pot. Thin 'trunk', but red currents do not produce big trunks as garden plants anyway.

Yesterday I repotted it in a wide shallow oval pot that had was on the shelve for years. I didn't even know I had it. It's a plain pot, nothing fancy, but it will do the job for 1 or 2 years.

A bit of wiring to do (mainly 1mm wire), and some extra growth needed in the top.

update: 2 root-over-rock juveniles since 2016

Two juvenile projects in root-over-rock style, started in 2016 with very very young material, both seedlings harvested in neighbourhood. Acer pseudoplatanus on lava rock and Acer pseudoplatanoides on 3 flat rocks put on top of each other.

After 1 year of growth, I inspected the roots and both looked very good. Replanted again, but a bit higher up, with their toes in the ground and the upper part of the roots surrounded by substrate within remains-of-pond-basket. Let it grow, let it grow, for several more years.

update: 3 common/black Alder - repotting

Two of them started from young forestry purpose plants. The one in the rectangle pot was dug out some 3 or 4 years ago from a ground that needed to become parking lot.

potting mixture: vermiculite-zeolite-lava sand-cocopeat, and a thin akadama toplayer just for 'esthetics'.

A lot of ramification work ahead but it's ok with Alders if you do this whilst already in pot. They're still vigorous growers in pot, when you water and fertilise them good.
