Heso, I would plant it in a pot of good soil. That way you can provide winter protection for it. Good soil will also help form a superior root system with roots close to the trunk that way you can transition to a bonsai pot in a few years. Good luck with your layers. Start lots of them so you...

I would recommend developing most of the trunk while still on the parent tree and then air layering a more finished trunk that you can then develope branches on after the layer is seperated. This will allow for more rapid wound healing as well as stronger response to chops. This is a branch...

I had the same thing happen this past winter. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome. I had no idea they could get that large. Thanks for sharing Butler.

Thanks for sharing sawgrass. I like it.

I don't know about correcting taper, but some trees break the rules and look awesome. This ginkgo is a bit grotesque but to me is what ginkgo bonsai should be.

Sorry to hear that the tree is not doing well. I have played with a few mediums and found that sphagnum packed tightly to avoid excess water or screened bonsai soil 1/4 inch and larger with sphagnum over the top as Osoyoung stated to be the best for me and my location. I believe that the perlite...

Glad to hear that some of the trees were recovered and will be returned. Best of luck finding the rest.

These pots have some cool glaze work done on them. I love the one in the second pic. Cheers

Awesome tree Mullet. Thanks for sharing. I love seeing people's progressions with raw material. Cheers

Nebari, not sure about regulations in Sweden but you may want to look into buying 100% IBA and pharmaceutical grade talc online and mixing your own. I had a hard time finding the concentration I wanted and this worked well for me. 5g IBA and 500g talc cost a total of $15.00 US, so it is also an...

I always enjoy seeing your trees. Thanks for posting.

I really enjoy your videos Vance. Thanks for sharing. I'll be keeping an eye out for a mugo because of you.

Nice use of budget material.

That's awesome to get so many flowers on a small plant. I want one now. If you buried the right side of the tree with sphagnum moss you could probably get roots to pop there. Crapemyrtle root very well. Cuttings also root with little effort so approach grafts could be a solution. Cheers
