    Cotoneaster are fun!

    I was thinking the same exact thing. The one on the left is on the inside of the curve so it doesn't seem to fit... but at the same time the next branches up are also on the right. Definitely a conundrum!

    Great trunk! Have you thought about removing one of the two lower branches?

    Cuttin shoots: Mugo Pine

    Thanks so much Vance, I just picked up my first mugo and am really excited about it's future. It's my first pine in general, and as you know pruning pines is a whole other can of worms so this really helped. Just one question, did you in fact prune all of the new growth? Or did you like one...

    Ilex crenata holly advice

    Yea, no prob. Just want to add that I don't really know how much root work you did with your repot, and that a light prune can always wait until spring. Whatever feels right to you. I was mostly getting at if you're going to let the tree do it's own thing/fatten for a couple years, it's...

    Ilex crenata holly advice

    If you're planning on letting it thicken by just letting it be, let me say that I would really advise you to just prune branches that will create problems now. For example, where you have three branches coming out of on spot. If you remove one now you will avoid an awful bulge and reverse...

    Tsuga canadensis collected

    Maybe not the perfect specimen, but for a collected Eastern Hemlock that is pretty fantastic. It is so hard to find one thats not pencil thin that still has foliage low on the trunk. Nice find. I'd like to find something like this one day. Have you given any thought to sacrifice branches for...

    Feeling guilty about pest control

    Yes, certain wasp species can be of huge help to gardeners and farmers alike. Certain parasitic wasps lay their eggs in many common crop pests... in fact the Organic farm I work on is talking about releasing a parasitic wasp species that would help control the leaf miner grubs that have really...

    Hornbeam?

    Pretty sure it's the other way around, in terms of leaf size. American hornbeam has slightly smaller leaves than american hophornbeam.

    Your original post was inflammatory and was aimed at insulting many people on this forum, I don't post threads to insult people, let alone half the forum. You have harassed me in other threads before and it's really pitiful. Suck ass at bonsai? Haha. Because after only one year of learning...

    Put up or Shut up

    Please do, I'm sure you can find the door. Hahaha sawgrass you need a hobby, besides beating up on people on the internet. Oh, well maybe 2 hobbies then... bonsai/golf? Have you ever consider anger management therapy? I'm not making a joke with that one, it could be seriously helpful to...

    Put up or Shut up

    Gosh, what an aggressive first post. Is bonsai just a competition to you? Thread seems like a way to satisfy your own ego more than anything else. You can just ignore peoples advice, but a forum is just that, a forum. People will post regardless of how crotchety or experienced you are. It's...

    Is it too late in the season to trunk chop a chinese juniper???

    It had seemed to make it through the winter, I posted a separate thread for it when I styled it a few months ago. This thread turned into such a circus I just started a new one. The foliage was looking really green, but as of a month ago it started to rapidly kick the bucket when it started...
