Acer palmatum kiyohime

I bought this little japanese maple in may 2017. I was really charmed by its tiny leaves. Autumn leaves were fabulous too. Yes, its a cheap commercial tree. Yes, I love maples :)

This tree gave me my uncle a few years ago, as a half-dead stump. It is an Acer Pseudoplatanus, known as a sycamore maple ( in Slovak Javor horský ). Actually another species not suitable for bonsai, due to its big leaf size and long internodes. BUT... It is our native maple, so I decided to add it in my collection. It attracts me somehow :)

As it came to my garden in the middle of august 2012.

After inicial works in spring 2013. As can be seen, I changed planting angle and removed dead part of the trunk.

Jun 2017 after defoliation.

October 2017 after wiring. Height of the tree is less than 30 cm.

Everytime I look at the tree, I hear that song in my ears :)

Beech trees - Buky R.I.P.

This is the last goodbye to my beech trees. They started to enlarge the new buds in spring, but then after the strong late frosts in the april/ may, didn´t wake up. Picture from may 2017.
Toto je posledné zbohom týmto trom bukom. Na jar začali nalievať puky, ale po neskorých silných mrazoch na prelome apríla a mája sa už nezobudili. Fotka z mája 2017.
