Lots of red/orange flowers but the fruit never develops, it falls off early.

I don't know why the first image turned on its side nor do I know how to correct it. Sorry.

I have had this pom since 2012. The first photo shows it as I bought it and the second one is three years later. I hope that it will be ready for a bonsai pot next season.

I've had this juniper for several years. The only thing I have done wsa to remove some branches on one end and change the planting angle. I think it has a lot of potential, especially for carving, but I don't know which way to go with it. Any suggestions?

I think you'll have some fun with these trees. Do you know if that is a dawn redwood or a coastal redwood. It's hard to tell from the photo.

I pass this oak everyday on the way to work. I finally decided to photograph it (and one more but my battery died).

These are some Pomegranates that I purchased from an old and dilapidated nursery. They were about 5 bucks apiece so I thought I'd buy some to experiment with. I went back to following year to buy some more but the nursery had been replaced by vineyards... probably much more profitable. Do any...

A few weeks ago I posted here and also made the same post on Facebook. A Bonsainut member here asked why I had two identities, one on Facebook and one on BonsaiNut. I thought it careless of this member to post my name here, when it would seem obvious I that I rather not use my real name. I let a...

This tree was given to me two years ago when the top half died in a frost. As shown, it has a double trunk. I cut on trunk way down hoping branches would pop up and I'd have a nice sumo. However, a new trunk popped up at its base. So currently I have three parts: 1) Originally stubby trunk which...

I will be transporting a grape vine bonsai by air later this week. Does anyone have experience taking a tree as carry on? I plan is to pack it as if I were going to ship it (but unsealed for inspection), just in case I can't take it as carry on (it is two inches too long) and have to check it...

KISS: Keep it simple, Stupid

I think it depends on various factors such as: Your climate, the species, your watering regime, your fertilizing regime. A third option in your poll could include: a mix of both. That's what I use most of the time.

I was a little surprised by the flowering on this plant at this time of the year, but it was bright so I thought that I'd share it.

I bought this JBP earlier this week. When I got it home it had sap on the needles and I couldn't find where it was coming from. Does anyone have ideas what this might be or whether I should be concerned?

Thanks for your extra efforts!

If you do decide to chop, save the eliminated trunk and stick it in the ground. I've had a lot of success in rooting branches from this variety of tree.

Thanks for these suggestions. I had a pleasant evening looking at some great pots. I was excited until I remembered that I'm buying the pot for someone else... but you can always squeeze an extra one into the box!

I'm looking for American made pots from independent studios like Dale Cochoy.

Can anyone provide a link to web sites that sell bonsai pots?

I agree. However, I have a buyer and this is the style settled upon.

This grape was one of five from a vineyard that was removing older stock. This was a discard. It didn't look like it had a chance but this one survived. I planted it in the ground for two years and dug it out of the ground last year after the new growth was established. I carved away the wood...

I have a couple of Kayaks. I pretty much paddle the ocean. Morro Bay is a large band/estuary that is pretty as are some of the rocky local beaches where I live.

Just bought a new video sports camera but it takes stills, too. So I snapped a few of my backyard. Got to get used to the fish eye effect. Probably not the best camera for bonsai photography, but it should be fun in the Kayak.

Thanks for the virt. I should have explained that the tree has not yet been wired. I will post photos of it wired later this fall. I will incorporate your suggestion.

Thanks for the city. I should have explained that the tree has not yet been wired. I will post photos of it wired later this fall. I will incorporate your suggestion.
