    Oh boy those are some nice trees you got there. Thanks for the advice. I think I will wait until spring and chop and dig.

    Old Boxwood - Need Help

    Thanks for he reply I bought it from a gentleman about 8 years ago. He said it was around 30 years old maybe more. He had been growing it in a large pot for quite a while specifically with bonsai in mind. I planned on cutting it down to around 15-20 inches. The tree as it stands now is...

    Still gonna get pretty warm here in Santa Cruz. Although where this tree is going to end up once dug, will be a lot cooler then here.

    Old Boxwood - Need Help

    Hello, As the title says I am in need of some advice. I planted this tree in the ground some time ago at my parents place. Over the years it has been somewhat neglected and will continue to be neglected as I can only get here once every few months. I would like to get it out of the ground...

    Hi there, Been a long time since I posted here. Moved and wasn't able to practice bonsai. Just got back into the hobby and got a few plants back from my parents house. Needless to say my plants have been growing wild for 6 years. Very excited to get back to bonsai. Just looking for some...

    Suggestion on two elms

    I think the second elm you have is a 'jacqueline hillier'? If I was you and you had the ability I would choose a leader and let it grow in the ground for a few years. This is what I did with mine 2 years ago and it is thickening up nicely and growing like crazy.
