    Water restrictions

    The restrictions haven't really been a problem for me since i water morning/evening anyway. I am usually at work or school during the daytime hours we aren't supposed to water. Our vegetable garden has suffered a bit from the restrictions but not by much. Fixing any dripping hoses/faucets and...

    Procumbens? advice please~

    Maybe I could see them without a magnefying glass but I'd rather use one to be sure XD I didnt see any and did some research on them and have checked all my other plants. Predator mites seem to be a rather expensive option for a small setup. I will just work on being preventative with the...

    Procumbens? advice please~

    Yikes, I went and did the paper test. I couldn't see anything moving even with the magnefying glass but does it hurt to treat just in case? For now I have moved the tree even further away from my other plants. I had it seperate anyway but dont want to take any chances...

    Procumbens? advice please~

    Hello so I got this juniper from a friend of a friend who is getting out of bonsai (bought a bunch of super cheap training pots from her and the juniper and an elm came with) and I've had it for about a month and a half now. It was in partial shade and had been missed being watered so all I have...

    not sure what type?

    Thanks everyone, I was able to get back in touch with the guy I bought it from and he said it is indeed a procumbens! I did a little minor work on it today, mostly just really looking at what branches I have and pulling out any dead needles. I also took a few branches off that were crossing...

    two cotoneaster

    So I got these two little cotoneaster from a local guy who was reducing his stock of trees. They were cheap so I figured would be good to learn on. First thing is yes, I know they are in horrible soil (same as the juniper i got too) so that will have to be changed in the future. I think these...

    not sure what type?

    Thanks both of you! I do have a question about the little nubs along the trunk where branches have been removed in the past....i dont really like how they look cause its just so obviously a cut branch, is there a way to take those off (not right away but eventually)? Or should i just not mess...

    not sure what type?

    Yeah its outside, just brought it in for pictures XD Yeah I kinda thought the soil was way too wet...I haven't watered it at all, I got it yesterday and its still pretty damp so I'll just go with the chopstick method and be careful

    not sure what type?

    Hello, I got this new tree from a local person who was getting rid of some of his stock for really cheap (so I didnt really care if it was amazing or not, its something to learn on) and I picked up this juniper for $15. I just wanted to post some pictures and get some opinions/suggestions on...

    Growing in colanders

    I have a few questions about colanders, i've seen them mentioned several times but couldn't find more about them. I almost always see them used for pines, can you use them for other types of tree or is there something I missed on why its always pines? Also when starting a tree from seed when...

    Misc azalea

    Wow that second one is really neat! Unfortunately flowering shrubs aren't very popular around here because the wind just shreds them...I will keep an eye out though! I know the azalea i do have isn't anything special anyway, it isn't a type with small leaves to begin with and is just stuck in a...

    Misc azalea

    Haha I can't learn anything if I "don't want to hear" anything from the people who know a lot more than me! Thanks and I will probably do just what you suggest. Like I said its pretty much an experiment tree my mother got for me....so expect lots of mistakes from me!

    Misc azalea

    Well after a few hours of looking at refrences and staring at the tree....I trimmed it up quite a bit...first time doing anything like this and well..it at least came out like I had pictured even if its not entirely correct o.o don't think it was a bad attempt for my first time XD Now should I...
