yes, sorry I need to fix it to work in Safari. Shoot me a private message and we can talk

Mountain Mahogany. I think it was collected in 2019. It has cool deadwood and bark. It has nice little leaves. It will be available for sale. https://photos.app.goo.gl/uN4DvVWBhea2ExZJ6

This one I really like. It is huge and mostly deadwood. The foliage of very old ones is really green, they change colors when planted in a container

Another big one.

yes. I have taken it slow with this tree as I wanted to get the foliage closer to the trunk and the live vein is quite big.

This was the place where I learned about Alligator junipers and I started looking for them. This is a big one:

Gray Oak Slab

RMJ - First time potted in a bonsai pot. It has never been styled.

I have used heating cables with a thermostat for the last 7 years and they work. I mostly use it for collected trees but I also use them for early repotted trees. If you want to start the roots to grow, you need to keep them an around 45F. I have experimented with and without and I have seen...

I cleaned up another little RMJ from my site. It is an old little one with really good deadwood but a long root. However, I discovered 50% of the root is deadwood so this could potentially be bend after removing the deadwood. It is already separating at the soil line. Normally you think about...

I spent some time cleaning up some RMJ from my sales section. I felt people were not able to see the true potential: 1. This is a small RMJ with nice trunk and deadwood. https://photos.app.goo.gl/Twpok5Uzf5HsuQxy6 From my site (The tree before some of the deadwood and live vein cleaning)...

It looks really cool. Great job.

I'll send you some pics tomorrow. Thanks Alvaro

I few gray oaks and one silver leaf oak Silverleaf oak They grow in high altitude but grow insanely strong in the TX weather. It is a evergreen oak but some leaves get really red during the fall season. These leaves fall off. https://photos.app.goo.gl/wAbvqzfjfxKdUTFH6 Gray Oaks These are...

One thing I will say about alligator juniper is that they tend to have a lot of deadwood. At least, the ones at high elevations. I will say 70-90% of the tree is deadwood. This is a medium size example: https://photos.app.goo.gl/n1gSX6Va7YJoEhcY8

I'll do. Thanks

They grow in areas where the temps drop to -20 F. They just got dormant. In areas where it gets really cold, they grow facing South or wherever they get more sun. For example, the one @markyscott has was collected at 9000. They grow from low elevations to almost 10000. Normally, you find them...

wow. I spent some time few years ago trying to find what it was and you just got it. It is a Wright's Silktassel Very cool. Now I know. Thanks

I have collected a tree that I'm not sure what it is. I think it is from the manzanita family or something like that. It grows in high altitude deserts with pinyons and junipers. Really picky with the roots. I have tried 5 times with only one success. I tried to find out what it was but I...

Mark, great job. I sold a tree to Mark Ackerson in Alb and he has done an amazing job moving the tree forward. It shows the potential of this type of junipers. This one is all about bark Original Tree http://chobonsaiyamadori.com/viewer/2 Styled tree

I have collected many ashe junipers in the past and I do think they have amazing foliage. However, they are difficult to collect as more ash grow in caliche, clay and any kind of heavy, muddy dirt. They tend to put long root in sandy soil so it is hard to get good roots. They do revert to...

Something went wrong when loading pics.

Big Gray Oak Collected in Fall 2018 It is a tree with crazy deadwood and deep bark.

I have been working with Gray Oak and Silverleaf oak. They are really strong and handle cold weather really well. Sergio Cuan has been working in a big one.

I'm also curious. The ones I collect (Gray Oak, Silverleaf oak, gamble oak) will die if bare-rooted. I think I tried few times with live oak and they died. This was the reason I only started collected oaks few ago. However, that tree seems to have feeder roots so that could increase its chances...
