    Beginners Tree

    So I'm looking to buy a new tree or 2 that are more ready for bonsai. The ficus is doing great and he's getting some daytime outdoors.

    Purple Japanese Maple from seeds

    Well I ordered the purple online. And I'm not sure what type my father has. It's a Japanese Maple. He asked if I can keep it from growing any taller. I haven't looked at it yet.

    Turned out to be 2 leaves. I cut them off, hopefully it's an isolated thing. That's a good pic considering its from a 6plus. It's too dang big for one handed photos.

    What are these?

    When I searched it it said its brought on by mites or insects in most cases. Although there are 1500 species of gall.

    Cut Paste and Soil

    After looking and studying this tree it really is a bad tree. Looks like they cut the wrong branches and cut them in a manner where they don't look like the will heal. The other branches look very poorly grafted on to a root. The root decay on the smaller root doesn't seem to be affecting...
