Since the link few posts earlier is broken... It's just funny, if you're pro or anti gun person....

Both look nice, I like how you saved it when the first one had a die off. Anyway, communis are bastards, they might as well just one day decide and half will die. Strange plants...

I like it. I also wouldn't go so low with the chop, but then again I have no quality bonsais. :) Do you find hornbeam hardy species? I tried to collect 2 as yamadori but none survived :( No idea why...

Hi MGW. Since you're from UK, I would advise you to browse through Harrys site: http://www.bonsai4me.com/ It has so many information and is directly linked to your climate. It has a beginners section and advanced articles. Good luck!

For trees in development (all my trees that is) I use 100% pumice. It works well. In summer you might have to water a bit more, depends on microclimate. Pumice I use are sizes 3-6mm.

Are there any pics of prizewinners? Or did I miss that somewhere? Was taking photos allowed?

Nice, a 6 year update, cheers for you to remember this thread and post fresh pics. I would put some bend into lower half of the trunk so the tree would get a bit smaller and more interesting. Anyway nice find, and congrats on keeping it alive.

Hmm. No replies yet. This was some big trunk chop. The transition is not that smooth. What's your plan for future development?

OK, thanks for you're insight and kind words. I'm just having trouble imagining that there is something under this part and that this on picture is not the wood part but xylem.

It could work... I would to see how you'll glue/concrete them together.

Hmmm.. I'm clueless now :) So this is not only the wood part left? I have no idea why the branch died then... :confused:o_O

I have a seedling I grew. I have no idea what this is, I traded a surprise set of seeds with my friend.

I have no idea what cultivar it is... It's been in the garden for some time, it's not mine, it's my realtives but I doubt they know what cultivar they bought. So here, I opened the package and took a few (not so good) pictures:

Thanks @barrosinc for the picture. I've seen all the pics and I know the theory (not all as it seems), but when it comes to being practical... :) That's not me :p I'll open the device tomorrow if there's nothing left to lose now.. :/

That is possible, since when I was making the airlayer I had a feeling that I can't go too deep when removing layers of bark, so I removed everything up to the point when only the realy hard wood remained.
