Even though I repotted this American Beech only one year ago, I opted for a repot again this spring because of the following reasons. ...

This is the first time that I venture into the colanders experiment as a container. They should stimulate growth while preventing roots from spiraling around the pot. Let’s meet in two years to evaluate the results! ...

I experiment with this Japanese Maple ‘Tamukeyama’ since 2015. The nebari is already fractal but the branching structure still needs to be built. This spring 2023 I grafted two new branches mid-way along the trunk and air-layered the top half to compact the tree. ...

On this Magnolia x loebneri ‘Leonard Messel’ I tried two self-grafting methods: approach grafting and thread grafting. I also wired the tree and cut two roots that grew above the nebari within the pot. ...

I sowed those Japanese Black Pines 5 or 6 years ago. I am not in a hurry and did not push their growth using large pots or overfertilization. What they do not show in caliber, they bear in character and ramification. ...

This is one of my favorite trees at the moment. This three-trunk Japanese Maple evoques to me the fagility and the opportunity on the river bank. ...

I am responsible of this tree since two years. I did a light pruning and wiring to position the branches in the right place and favor the weaker trunks. ...

A small Black Birch forest created with 2 years old seedlings from 2021. This composition will be stunning when the bark starts to exfoliate. ...

This small Korean Hornbeam was purchased in 2021 from a local master, and it was created from seed. I shortened the head and wired all shoots to create a more ascending canopy. ...

This small pomegranate of a dwarf variety (Punica granatum ’nana’) is now 5 or 6 years old. Matthiew Quinn gave me 5 seeds and only one germinated. ...
