Thanks!

Hi! In December I made a post about identifying a tree I received as a gift. Here's the link: http://www.bonsainut.com/threads/what-kind-of-tree-is-this.21441/ The most common guess was that is was a Brush Cherry, but the pictures I looked at don't match my tree. I took better pictures and I...

Hi, I received this tree as a gift recently. What kind of tree is it? Any help would be appreciated! :) Thanks!

Should I wait until spring to get new trees? I want to grow some coniferous trees because I really like their look. Any recommendations for a good beginner tree?

I'll definitely do that, thanks for the advice! And yes, the normally white hair follicles (if that's what they're called) on the top of two of the leaves were turning light brown. The leaf I took the picture of had almost every follicle on the top turning light brown at the root.

I think it's spider mites that are doing something to my tree now. I noticed 5 or 6 strands of fine webbing last week on the leaves that now have the brown spots, and I actually saw something that looked like a super tiny tan spider with a brown spot on its back.

Hi Rick, I'll definitely take your advice, thanks, I really like this tree so I'm going to give it every advantage I can from now on. Now that I look at it, I agree that my light isn't reaching the lower branches enough. I'm going to buy a more powerful grow light CFL. Should the light be...

I don't exactly know, I received the tree as a gift from my girlfriend and it came with soil. Also, another thing, I recently put solid fertilizer near the stem. The package that came with the tree told me to do so every 2 months. Will this have any bad effect on my tree?

Hi. I'm new to Bonsai, and I just got a Fukien Tea Bonsai 2 weeks ago. When I received it some of the leaves were a lighter (unhealthy-looking) greenish/yellow. I cut all the bad ones off (ended up being about 5 or 6) and now a bunch of new leaves are growing! I water it when the soil gets...
