Hello everyone well I know the junipers that do well here like nana and shimpaku but would the California or Sierra juniper grow here? I am in zone 10a and want to get into some nice collected junipers I did see California junipers are hardy to my zone but I'm not sure if that's for sure also...

Thanks guys for the inputs I know grafting on it is a stupid idea but it was just thinking a little different. The tree will continue the way it's going with branches going down the way it should be. lol my teacher was like I will cut your fingers off if you do this to the tree.lol he would too...

Not new to bonsai at all I have been into bonsai since 2007 not many years but a good amount of time and have had a great teacher. Now the price question was because I don't sell much if any but that tree was available for a great price and I could make as much as I can so I asked if $1600 would...

I was thinking of my main left branch shortened and graft a branch on the first curve on the left and a back branch as well. What do you think? Thanks I know we have some seriously good pine people here that can help big time with this tree.

Thank you my friend also can you see my new post for a little help please. Thank you for everything I appreciate your help.

Well I am asking you guys for different ideas on where should I place branches on this pine. This guy is special to me for a few reasons. One the pine was kept for 20 years by my bonsai teacher. Two in 2002 Kunio Kobayashi was in Miami,Florida and was going to different private collectors and...

Adair how do I contact him? Can I find him on Google? I also don't mind grafting I have this guy on deck to graft bottom branches.

Your right I will need more money for the tree I am looking for. Man Japan has it good for bonsai look at these bp in the top left they were going for $1500 usd.

For sure it's all you but you might be waiting a while.

For a $1000 now a days you don't get much of a black pine. The import laws are worse than before and I remember you can get a nice JBP from Brussels some years ago for like $1400+ now you will be lucky if they sold that same one for $3000. I am looking for big tree with like a 7" base but raw...

Thanks for that reply smoke the budget right now is about $1000 for a large pine for sure far from done for that amount but large tall and def a thick trunk. Yea I'm going to get in touch with George about going there at least while I'm in Cali. If I do see something in the ground mabey I can...

I was going to say 2 belts buts it's really one belt when you think of it. Next is brown then black so 1 belt away. Yea you live super far in north Cali there are some serious good schools. Ryan Gracie, you have Caio Terra's school and Cesar Gracie's as well. Down south Cali you have the more...

Yes for sure Muranaka is one I def want to go to. That medal is important but really only at black belt every other belt color gets forgotten. I'm still 1 belt away from black but my brother just got his brown his next belt is black and my other brother is a purple belt like myself. Anyways I...

AFrame we can let it go and one day be friends and learn bonsai as friends and I will be in Cali on May 26-31 competing at the ibjjf gi world championships. I can win my medal then mabey you can show me some good black pine nuseries or you can try and beat me up.lol. Also smoke it means bullet...
