Buxus harlandii(Harland Boxwood)? Not sure.

I think there is the so called "Smoke Screen" technique: http://www.bonsainut.com/threads/growing-some-tridents-from-seed.12974/#post-195774 https://bonsaial.wordpress.com/2013/03/02/whats-under-the-screen/ https://bonsaial.wordpress.com/2013/07/14/trident-seedling-update-2/ Smoke has talked...

Some kind of Celtis/Hackberry. Pretty Sure....

I don't think it is kiyohime either. I believe kiyohime is more basally dominant and would have longer internodes if left to its own devices. Looks like shishigashira or a big kotohime, but I could be wrong on all accounts. Nice movement in there, I would airlayer if you have the time.

I'm not a horticulturalist or a plant geneticist, but I have a background in genetics. The ability to propagate a cultivar through seed would have to do with the nature of the, presumably, genetic lesion(mutation) and has nothing to do fundamentally with how it arose or is propagated. The same...

After two years I got curious and repotted some of my through-tile maples. Here is a ~3 year trident grown in turface and sited pine bark. It was grown on a 4"X4" tile through a ~1/4" hole and fertilized heavily with miracle grow. Top growth and root growth was strong and both were left to...

99% sure this is Serrisa.

Brent has an improved version of Deshojo that is grown from cuttings: http://www.evergreengardenworks.com/acer.htm "0694 Acer palmatum 'Shindeshojo', A very showy green cultivar with fire engine red new growth. This is actually an improved version of 'Deshojo' (a highly sought after, but...

I remember a website that was dedicated to cataloging locations and pictures of large trees worldwide, but I couldn't find it. In my search I found these: http://www.americanforests.org/bigtrees/bigtrees-search/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_trees Both seem informative, though often...

As said above, it looks like my Purpleblow Maple/Shantung Maple (Acer truncatum). Im 75% sure. They make decent bonsai according to Brent. I like mine a lot. http://www.evergreengardenworks.com/acer.htm

Though modern growing methods and substrates may overwhelm their influence, doesn't soil provide a more complete medium for beneficial symbionts and microbes? Does anyone know of the extent of the effect symbionts have in different substrates, or how completely people understand the influence...

Kennedy, I found this in a post you made about turface in April. I think this is probably what you mean: http://bonsainut.com/forums/showthread.php?10444-Dry-Turface-water-resistant/page6 I ran across this chart in Journal of American Bonsai Society Vol 43 #4 2009 page 6. The talk...

I dont have many long term results (I only started this technique last year), but I have begun to experiment with growing on and through tile with Japanese Maple, Trident Maple, Crepe Myrtle, Native Sugarberry (I think), and some pine. Some of the growing is in the ground, some in pots and, some...
