Moved to a wooden container for the next 2 years.
Inclination will be changed later.
Need more development of structural branches, and canopy needs to be broader for the look I am aiming at.

Small Privet Group
update June 2nd 2018.
Privet (ligustrum ovalifolium), recuperated from my hedge in 2016.
First year in this pot, partly raised on a stone.
Will develop nicely in the coming years. Needs a slab perhaps.

From a cutting in 1996/1997.
Very small size

Alder 360° view
Common Alder, Alnus Glutinosa, started from a 1 season old plant, back in 2011.
Made a 360° view.
Second flush of green coming on nicely, I spread the first pruning over the last few weeks. Another pruning in July.
Birch #2 update
Update of a Birch project tree.
Dug up from a building plot in 2012 and kept not much more then a naked trunk.
First years were slow to develop, I havent got a clue why.
Today I pruned excess growth and started some first and basic wiring. It has to devolop strong growth again now on the main branches, before more work can be done.

bonsai shelves in the garden
First ever bonsai shelves in my garden since we moved in back in autumn 2008.
You see, I'm just an amateur :-). Some more shelving to do, and then I'll add a few trunk logs to put some more trees on. Limited space available in my limited garden, for proper presentation.
I perhaps like the growing field and the little corners here and there more, where everything is growing and still 'becoming'. But, my wife is happy the garden table is now free of trees and spoiled substrate.

Sorbus upcoming leaves
Sorbus aucuparia.
Soon the overal image of this very small tree will be completely ruined again by all the top shoots that grow rapidly straight up. Not an easy species to grow from seedling, don't bet on lots of ramification. Needs a lot of grow and cut cycli to get more buds on the branches.
