    Hydrangea petiolaris -Climbing Hydrangea Bonsai

    Hydrangea petiolaris -Climbing Hydrangea Bonsai can make really great Bonsai if you find a nice trunked one. I have seen a small in a Bonsai nursery that was really great. I found a large one at another nursery. I have had this one for years. It is now just starting to look like a tree. The tree...

    Barberry

    Nice tree and I like it a lot. I just love Barberries and find it hard to pass up a nice one. I am trying to collect different Barberries just to see how many ones I can find with a nice trunk on them. I just potted up 6 Barberries in the last week or so. Now is the time to go Barberry hunting...

    Hydrangea petiolaris cordifolia

    'petiolaris cordifolia' seems to be a dwarf? I think? Mine appears to be a standard vine and the leaves can be pretty good size for a Bonsai. Yes my tree does bloom. It was potted last year in the Bonsai pot and sulked for a while. This year it only has 1 flower bud on it, I expect it to have...

    Hydrangea petiolaris cordifolia

    I have a Climbing Hydrangea to. I have had it a number of years, I like the bark on it and the little finger projections it uses to cling to things if it was allowed to. You can read about it here: Climbing Hydrangea

    I really really want a redbud!

    Try cutting the tap root on any nursery stock tree and put it back in its nursery pot for a couple more years. Let it develop more lateral roots before trying to get it into a Bonsai pot. I wonder if you could do that on a volunteer tree, might not hurt to try just cutting the tap root only if...

    5yr Native Tree Challenge - Dingus's rhus aromatica (Fragrant Sumac)

    I know you did not mean any disrespect. How do you keep the creatures off you trees in Kansas City? My mother lived in St. Joe and she had nightly visitors all the time. She had a possum living on the side of her house and eating the dogs food. Smart possum and those two dogs did not even know...

    5yr Native Tree Challenge - Dingus's rhus aromatica (Fragrant Sumac)

    That pot is really a high quality pots with multiple discrete color changes in it. Your opinion on the pot is really what Bonsai is all about, some like a tree/pot the way it is and others not so much. I suspect you would change your mind if you saw the tree/person in person. Good luck!
