Gary - thanks for the support.
Steven - the pot was made by Lynette and I purchased it a few years ago (at Bonsai by the Harbour I think it was).
We all need to support the local potters.

Nathan,
No offence taken, spelling is certainly not my forte.

Re: My first photo to this forum: Crabapple.
The tree is smashing!!! Really looks stunning. I like the pot but I don't find the two harmonious. I would like to see the crabapple in a glazed pot, softly coloured and an oval shape. The pot has a rugged look to it and would highlight a juniper, pine or native very nicely but I think it is too rugged for the grace and gentility of the tree.

Re: My first photo to this forum: Crabapple.
Appreciate your thoughts MelaQuin. I will consider (and probably look around the pot shops) between now and the next repot in August next year.

Re: My first photo to this forum: Crabapple.
I just noticed this thread. I'm at the other end of the year to you and have been harvesting my crabs for jelly today. The tree in the attached photograph will be reduced in height substantially when the 85 apples have been removed. I enjoy the flowers but am looking towards more bonsai and less flowering bush this time. An overall restyle I think. Watch out for the new shape.

Re: My first photo to this forum: Crabapple.
Stymie,
Thanks for the photos, maybe we should start a crabapple fan club? Just joking, but I do like the crabapple because it does something at all times of the year. I like yours and am especially impressed with the red fruit. Looking forward to your improvement plan.
In July of this year I had another one of my crabapples "critiqued" by Peter Adams during his visit to Australia and I have attached a photo in its decidious state with just a few yellow apples on it.

What this one lacks in height, it makes up for in fruit.

Re: My first photo to this forum: Crabapple.
Stymie,
Does having that many fruit on such a small plant put a lot of "presure" on the plant?
