Anthro, 5 months ago to pdx

Coldest Day in Portland History the weather guys bray.

I guess that follows if we only count the years since Portland was established as a city.

Thinking about the pre-Holocene days.

Anthro, 5 months ago to pdx

#Today, disaster struck.

One goal of any good bonsai practitioner is to try and make their small pampered trees look like they “have been through some stuff” to signify age and experience.

So an 85’ fir tree fell across our garage and backyard, landing on the spot I had just moved the bulk of my trees to, to protect from the wicked weather we were expecting.

If the initial fall didn’t do the “fir”st damage…the cleanup will complete it. Many trees with absolutely all limbs stripped down their trunks. One of the trees I have been working on the longest lost one of its two primary trunks.

Note to self. Going to need a second green bin.

Bonsai with limbs stripped…been a tough day.
Maples hearty enough to muscle through ice and wind but no match for a big ass fir not able to maintain its normal operating position.
One bad fir day takes out trees in their “sheltered location”.
