Hello folks, I have about a year with this Wisteria, about 2 1/2 weeks it was %100 "naked", I have no idea how old it is, but it does not look too young for my noob eye. It is about 24" tall and about 5" diameter at soil level. Can anyone provide me with some tips about what to do next...

I think I will fail miserably to accomplish that... usually, I took as many pictures of the trees as need it, and before moving to the next tree, I take a photo of the ID tag, but this was not the case :confused: I can recall just a couple of them, sorry for that.

Harry Hirao California Juniper

Larry Ragle -Shohin Display

The past weekend, the California Bonsai Society held the 55th Convention and show at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Garden Grove CA. I wasn't able to make it to the workshops or critiques (hopefully next time, in 5 years), but I got plenty of images from the Main display for you to enjoy. If...

snowsurf125, For the last 2 Christmas parties from the club, I've been the winner of a couple of Harry's collected Juni's, looking at the current condition of the soil, there's seems to be some DG but just an small percentage, all the rest its Pumice. During the last trip to Mojave, at the...

First of all, I meant no thread hijack here, I just want to share what I did to my pomegranate, maybe it can help akhater a little bit. I've been following this thread for a little while, pretty much learning from it. I also have a pomegranate on which I did an air layer in the main trunk...

I've learned some very valuable information from all these sites: BonsaiMirai by Ryan Neil Bjorvala Bonsai Studio by Bjorn Bjorholm Shohin Europe by Morten Albek Bonsaivigi by Pavel Slovak Walter Pall by Walter Pall Artistic Bonsai Circle Bonsai4me by Harry Harrington...

JC, would you mind if I share what I was taught and how I do it on my end?, some of the processes seems very similar but at least I think its worth it to compare several "methods" and take the best out of everyone I was told against removing soil and disturbing any roots, however, I did left...

I read somewhere, that Harry Hirao, has a 90-95% survival rate, but then again, he's been doing that for the last 40 years or so, some others report a 50/50 chance to make it. My personal percentage its about 70-75%,perhaps a little lower, but I just been collecting for a few years.

That is some very impressive collecting job JC, I had the opportunity to be part of the team that Harry takes to the desert back at the beginning of the month and it was a great experience, I fall a little bit shy behind your total amount of collected trees (just 1 :rolleyes:) but I really...

As far as I know, JBP are very special, and need very precise and on time maintenance, I don't know much about them, but I've been told the same over and over, definitely not an starter material for a beginner, unless you feel very confident that you won't kill it, after some years of being in...

Thanks ed, No professional graphics designer, but I've been using Photoshop for many years already, I've always been passionate about graphics manipulation and anything related to that. I'm glad you like it!

Something like this?

Hey Dave, Sorry it took me long to reply to this thread, been busy digging up some yamadori's from the back yard ! ;) I made a few examples for you to take a look, hopefully something catches your eye. Also keep in mind that this is not the real size of the files which are around 12MB each...
