Larch Group Planting Progression photos
This group was started in 2000 from nursery stock plants bought at the local garden centre.
Initially it was five trees, but I added more as the group was developed.

Juniper Progression photos
This juniper came from a neighbours front garden. Had to be removed because they had the front paved over and I was fortunate enough to get my hands on it for nothing.
It's a golden form of juniper, most likely "Old Gold" and the foliage is quite feathery. Does not make the nice compact foliage clouds you would get from a Blaauws or Itoigawa, but makes a nice image.
I lost most of the pictures of this tree due to a harddrive failure, so these are the only shots I have.

Japanese Mountain Maple Progression photos
This Maple was bought from the "Bargain Section" at Greenwood Bonsai Studio in 2002 at the princely sum of £45.
Not sure why I have taken so few pictures of this tree over the years.

Cork Bark Maple Progression
Not much to do on the bonsai front this month, so i spent some time organising the photos on my computer and found some early shots of some of my trees.
I thought it may be good for some to see the progression over a number of years.
First up my Cork Bark Maple. This was started from a cutting back in 1988 (if I remember rightly). It is not as vigorous as a grafted maple and seems to grow very slowly.
It was grown in a large plant pot and then planted into its first bonsai pot in 1999.
