    Check this out

    Sorry about the posting on such an old thread but I wanted to know if anyone can tell me what type of trees he used here. Thank you. Dave

    Giant Pine

    I don't think a tree in the forest is anything like a tree in a pot. I would think there could be times you would do this for a tree growing in a pot. Dave

    New Larch..first shot at wiring...

    I really wish they did better here but I'm just about to far south for them. I know there are some growing as trees in Virginia but from what I hear as a bonsai tree they are not easy to keep alive. Dave

    Coast Redwood Landscape Nursery Stock

    If it was me I wouldn't touch the roots or anything more for the rest of this year. Go learn more about this tree and figure out your plan from now until fall or winter. Maybe not do a thing until next summer. Bonsai is a slow hobby and trying to do so much in one year may do more harm than a...

    Summer repotting scots pines?

    Here are some photos of the tree I worked on. You can see that some of the tree has died lower and I had a lot of needles inside I cleaned out. I cut small pie slices and a small section off the bottom. I would guess I cut less than a third off the bottom. You see the roots on the surface from...

    Boxwood in Training

    How large was the tree when you dug it from the ground?

    Summer repotting scots pines?

    All good points about noting where a post is from. An it is a good idea to mention to someone if you are answering to a question if you know their AG Zone. I have noticed Vance is good about pointing this out when he replies to me. Dave

    New Larch..first shot at wiring...

    Thanks Vance, I purchased these from e-bay so it was a shot in the dark for what I was getting but from the look of the trees and photos on-line I would guess it is a Japanese Larch. That is one reason I think it would make it as a larger tree and not bonsai. Maybe when I get more experience...

    Summer repotting scots pines?

    I just repotted a mugo based on Vance recommending it. The only thought I had about it as I was doing was the difference AG Zones Vance and I live. I'm in a much warmer area but I figured that wasn't going to be a problem. I hope not because the nursery tree I got was a really nice looking...

    New Larch..first shot at wiring...

    I live in ag zone 7a and would like to plant one of my larch trees in a larger pot to grow out and see how large I can get it growing. From what I'm reading it best I wait until late winter or early spring to move the larch. I'm not sure it will make it here as a bonsai so I was thinking I can...

    Compiled Vance Wood on Mugo Pines

    I love this and only wish we had something like this for every tree type.

    Some bonsai folks have guns

    I would tell you to go to a dealer with a range and you can try many guns. I have a hand guy but I got My wife a 12ga for home protection. This has all the mentioned advantages and disadvantages mentioned. The really big thing to watch for is how well you shot a gun. If you have issues than get...

    Can Larches prosper in northern Virginia??

    I got a bunch of the Japanese Larch trees online at a good price (pre bonsai) and so far more than half have died off. I have a few that are growing strong but I fear if I grow them as a bonsai they will die. I'm thinking of planting them in the ground and see if they grow there. I've heard...

    Help ID this plant

    Folks, Cotoneaster "Coral Beauty" is the correct plant I was looking at. I did a search and all I found was exactly what I had seen. Thank you all that helped to ID this for me. Grimmy - No, I wasn't going to collect this because it was on private property (an outdoor shopping mall in...

    Help ID this plant

    Greetings, I was out the other day and I noticed a bush that looks much like a boxwood and I wanted to know if anyone can help me ID this plant. It has little white flowers and like I said looked like a boxwood.
