How old are they ?

Them's some beautiful trees! Serious tree modding right there.

Yes

It's restricting the root growth that keeps them small..

Every few years (depending on the species) they will be repotted and the roots trimmed by one third to one half depending on how much they've filled the pot..

I have a California Redwood that is about ten years old, they grow to be the biggest trees in the world yet mine is only about fifteen inches tall :thumbup:

I'm not too sure how old they are as i bought most of them with unknown history but most of them i've had for around ten years..

I forgot to mention my other hobby, my little machines (watches), been collecting them for around thirty six years and have around two thousand in total (i think treatment may be needed  :loco: )

Heyup John.

Welcome to the Collective!  :borg:

I was going to tell you to join in, post up, show pics, and enjoy. But, you seem to be doing that already......  :D

You'll do......

Acer palmatum 'Seigen' in it's spring colours, it's a bit taller than the pic (too tall!), it will be reduced to what you see next spring..


Japanese white pine, only partially wired into shape..


Zelkova (Japanese elm), this needs reducing in height too (out of proportion with the dish)


It was a bit chilly last winter!!
