Bonsai

Mistakes were made…lost one of my favorite trees this summer.


This was one of my first juniper projects, it’s a blue rug that was repotted early summer 23 (not a great time but I got lucky with a mild summer that year). The tree was doing great after its initial repot, it pushed all summer and all fall pretty vigorously to the point I actually trimmed it back a bit early this spring. All spring the tree seemed to be doing well and even into summer it was doing well until I moved the pot from ground level to the upper portion of my bench. We had a pretty brutal summer and a heatwave roasted almost all the plants on my upper level of my bench and this tree took it the hardest, I moved it as soon as I noticed some trouble but was a day late and a dollar short. It’s pretty much completely golden now and I figured I would take one last photo of a tree I’ve really enjoyed having and am sad to see go.
