I repotted the
japanese plum this spring and cut it back just moderately. To be honest,
despite reading articles on the species and how to go about pruning them, I
dont feel comfortable yet to give it a real hard pruning that is certainly
needs. It is in flower at the moment (mid december) and I am thinking hard how
to go on with this one...

Bonsai work table
Last year I decided
to build a bonsai table that would allow me to both rotate and tilt the trees
in one plane while working on them. Inspired by some tutorials how to make them
yourself which you can find online and some commercially available ones I came
up with a quite simple version. I decided to choose a more durable wood for the
top layer of the table so it can get wet even though I would not advise to keep
it outside in rainy weather as its lifetime will suffer for sure. The bolts can
be changed depending on whether I want to fit a round/oval or
rectangular/square pot or container on it while tilting the table. It can be
adjusted to a broad variety heights due to the block that allows 3 different
options. I bought a relatively cheap turning wheel made from plastic off
amazon, but it should be strong enough for all sizes of trees im planning to
put on the table.
