It seems that it is impossible to mention the subject of God. Has this site become so WOK that one subject that founded this country cannot be mentioned???

Lately there has been some interest in the Hinoki Cypress expressed in a number of threads. Personally I would like to see how many of us actually have these wonderful trees and what we have learned about them and what we are doing with them. If you all would be so kind as to post pictures and...

I have noticed over the months since Christmas that a great many members of this forum have faded away from a presence here, or am I having computer problems once again?

I have not received a reply from this site since after Christmas. I assumed it was my fault but I have come to understand there are at least two other members that are having the same issue. If you have those problems let the administrators know because it has to be a software problem.

Here is a question to you Juniper guys. Below you will find a Photo of Utah Juniper and Rocky Mountain Juniper both with nice foliage that in my opinion rival Shimpaku. I know there is a lot of argument about Juniper issues especially about how the foliage is maintained and cultivated; the...

Here begins a post on the progress of 4 Hinoki Cypress I have been working on most recently at two years ago and as far back as 1994.

It would seem I can no longer down load videos. The message I get back is the file is too large. A fifteen minutes is a lot smaller than a couple of videos I have seen posted here that exceed an hour. So if anyone knows what the problem is I would appreciate the information. I am trying to...

Just thought it would be interesting to see and review a current Video by a famous bonsai artist. I would like to know what you think?

Back in the day I tried growing Japanese White Pine from seed and now I have four or five of them left. This is one of them of course growing on its own root system. A lot of work before it's show quality. A lot of work befoer it's bench quality, but there you go for you adventurers that want...

Many of you have seen this tree a few times or more, I call it the $5.00 Mugo Pine. In 1996 when someone who was supposed to give a demonstration for our club show did not show up I was drafted to fill in. One of our vendors had an assortment of pines and this Mugo was in the batch. I grabbed...

It has been requested that we have a discussion thread on the uses and abuses of the Scots Pine Pinus Sylvestris and any number of grafted cultivars. The Scots Pine is one of the most widely distributed Pines in the Northern Hemisphere. It is native to the Arctic Circle in Europe and Asia and...

When you get weather you can work with you don't just sit there and mine boogers. So---I was able to pull the Zombi out of storage. It's not that large a tree so it wont be a problem to put it back if the weather turns crumby, and it will probably. However I have been getting a lot of...

Has any one received their copy of the book from the National show as yet?

Outside of understanding artistic principles and the horticultural needs of a particular tree there is nothing more important in bonsai than wiring. It is absolutely imperative that you master this sub-art and wiring is in itself an art. You will not learn this art without a concentrated...

About three years ago I became interested in his videos. I have not see a new one in almost two years now. Has he stoped producing them or am I missing something?

Following are a series of photos of some trees I have repotted so far this summer. This is not all neither will it be. This is one of the 3.5 gal. Mugos from last summer I decided to do something with.

I hope you guys will forgive me posting another thread about this Hinoki Cypress, but I think there may be a few that get some value out of a thread about a tree that has been under constant development and frequent changes over a twenty-finve year time span. I joined the Four Seasons Bonsai...

Here is a link I think you all might be interested in. It's from Bjorn Bjornholm's blog about summer repotting. http://www.bjorvalabonsaistudio.com/repot-your-bonsai-in-s…/

My wife and I moved to Michigan in 1970 so I could attend school and utilize my GI bill benefits. As we were unpacking all of her and my junk she noticed all of my bonsai pots. We mutually decided it might be a good idea if I started growing bonsai again. This is the first tree. I obtained...

I worked on this tree late last summer early fall. You can see the beginnings and the current state of affairs. The video is not as good as I would like it but it is the evidence of life and prosperity. Once more I am having difficulty with my editing software. It is more complicated to deal...

I knew the day was going to come when I was going to have to find a new pot for this tree. I am posting a photo of the combination of the two and see what you think. I hope you forgive the lousy photo I hope to get a better shot tonight.

Last summer and in this case I obtained a group of 2-3 gallon Mugo Pines and worked on them, including repotting/ root reduction of this particular tree. This morning I went out in the garden and did some looking around and shot some pictures. This particular tree is the same tree pictured...

For those of you who remember my brutalizing some Mops Mugo last summer here is the beginnings of a good deal of back budding on one of them. Obviously there is a lot more to be accomplished here. But for now this is a door opener just knowing the tree is going to respond as you have previously...

This is the first time I have had the opportunity to get my camera out and look at some trees. Some of you may remember the bunch of Mugo I acquired last summer. Here is one of them. They are labeled as Pinus Mugo Pumilio. Notice how compact the growth is on these guys. This is the way your...

Well I don't think it has been too long since the Nutt took on an assistant Nutt and what do we see happening? A thread everyone seems to be having fun with at no one's expense gets closed. For those of you that have been calling for moderators this buds for you. People seem to forget that...
