    After the last frost (around late Feb. late March here) I cut them off the mother plant and then I planted them in one of these. Acts as a insulated bonsai pot

    I'm lazy so I just cut (about4 to 6 inches long) them after the last frost put them in one of those white small Styrofoam cooler things - dabbed in root hormones, then planted in an organic based potting soil and didn't let it dry out at all - only lost 1 on 8

    I did actually - I got nicknamed the bear in my family because I kinda went nuts on the whole workout thing. 😅 I miss him but I moved to a bigger house and dedicated my whole garden to him to remember him as 5 -6 of the yamadori I have were collected with him. Yeah I'm working on a rather large...

    Just thought I'd drop back in to being a Bnutter - 2019-2020 has been a year of Chaos and things are normalizing for me I'll just thought I'd say Hello again. I still have all my trees, well mostly, and a few have suffered but that just means I can work some magic and get things back to tip top...

    Any direction on all the cut off stumps? there a bit gangly and distracting for a nice trunk that could be there. I just made some massive cuts on my massive one and will need to start some carving next spring to start going the direction I want.

    Corkbark JBP, ‘Taihei’

    Don't do this, your eye is drawn to much to the almost straight park of the trunk. With the branches it looks great. Without, you take away a key feature of this tree.

    American Beech Collecting

    Thought i'd chime in here, since I have 7 collected American Beech with 100% rate. These need to be collected before leaf out. I have only collected ones with low branches and buds as you get a better chance of it being ok after collecting. Collect just a stump and its a little more up in the...

    10 year wait - Yamadori Ume

    Thanks, it's been a rough year for me, and some of my trees suffered for it. But I'm finally in a great place and the last week ive spent hours in the garden working on trees that need a lot of work.
