On Tuesday March 11th I repotted this little Shimpaku Juniper 'Itoigawa' during a "Trim and Talk" meeting with the Greater Louisville Bonsai Society.  I had expressed at the beginning of the meeting that I was very tired, having slept only a few hours the night before.  My hopes were that the meeting would be a little more hands on with everyone working on their own trees and sharing of ideas.  It turned out to be much more like a standard lecture/demonstration, which is perfectly acceptable.

Several pot choices were selected ahead of time.  I let the members in attendance help decide which pot the juniper would go into.  They ultimately decided on the one shown below.  I had wanted to go with a more shallow Jack Bakkus pot, but decided against removing the amount of roots it would require to squeze it into the small pot.  Perhaps in 2 more years I will move the tree into the Jack pot.

I'm looking forward to working more on this tree a little later in the year.  For now it will get plenty of sun, water, and fertilizer.
