Hinoki Cypress in a dark brown clay development pot on a patio table with tools and leaves upon it. Background is yard shrubs, bonsai and a wooden fence.
Another deciduous azalea getting a late summer thinning/shaping and back on track for fall.
Some major and minor limbs removed to open up the silhouette of trunk(s) and limbs.
