Finally finished repotting,
Trees in bonsai pots,
and grow pots.
I will wait until summer for figs, banksias and olives.
Here are some photos of my grow pots.

looking good Gerard.

Quick one the shallow black pots in the 035 (last photo), where can I source some of them?

They are orchid pots. You should be able to get them from any decent garden supply store. You could always contact your local orchard society/club and ask them.

Edit just googled orchid pots and found this-

Nice Job, how long did that take ya?
And a quick question, do u repot and root prune all your bonsai at this time every year?
Im a novice at knowing when to repot, ETC.

Cheers Pat

I started with the deciduous about 2 months ago, ideally you would wait for the buds to begin to swell before repotting but I need to get some done early or I will run out of time. This tends to be no problem since the soil does not freeze during winter here.
I finished with the conifers in the last two weeks.
Pines only after 2 or 3 years.
Maples and elms most years, but sometimes a lazy (this one can wait till next year) approach.
Established trees in bonsai pots get potted less often.

Gerard.

Great collection. Very organized.
What is the mesh you use ontop of the Bessel block? At first I thought it was fencing but I'm not so sure, it looks more stylish than plain old weld mesh.
