Did a Trim and weed of the Kawaka forest last night

The lead tree on the right seems to be in decline and nothing seems to help so will search for s replacement. Not a common tree though damn it.

Other trees are tītoki and red matipo.

Only vaguely knew of the existence of Kawaka before bonsai after seeing it around one of the dams/walks in Waitakere when my parents took us there on a weekend did not know its name back then, so glad to know it more now.

Taraire dominant mixed forest with Titoki and red matipo.

Also a test of Taraire as bonsai and so far i see it as being good for bonsai and would consider a chunky single next.

Kawaka libocedrus plumosa, New Zealand Cedar, dominant forest with a side of tītoki & red matipo.
Been a long road getting the new lead tree settled, but looks positive now with extended shoots in some places.
Tītoki oversized compound leaves will be trimmed once new branches establish.

While out on the walks I got to meet a nice full size Kawaka tree
Libocedrus plumosa.
Good to refresh my reference images for my Kawaka bonsai forest.

eventually the whole board of trustees resigned in protest because of the poor leadership and high level of staff turnover. he went to work at Matipō school a few years ago and I saw in the news the BOT resigned there too and there was a police complaint. it's hearsay but completely believable

Also worked on the big privet while at the meet up along with the Kawaka mixed natvie forest.

Found a replacement lead Kawaka tree. Instead of replanting into the development tray I went ahead and composed them all in a bonsai pot.
Fit 5 Kawaka, 1 red matipo and 3 Titoki also.
Glad to have maintained the mixed forest i was aiming for.

É assim que os defensores da jornada 7x0 encaram os direitos dos trabalhadores... 😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬

"Os trabalhadores não tinham a formalização do contrato de trabalho, não tinham controle de ponto e eram submetidos a jornadas extensas, sete dias por semana, sem intervalos regulares de descanso ou almoço."

Libocedrus plumosa, Kawaka.
Nice to see spring growth pushing now.
This was a new NZ tree for me to bonsai about a year ago. Very nice tree so happy I found them. Enjoying learning how to trim and pinch them and how much to take off each time.
Also in the forest is red matipo and tītoki.
