That is exactly what I was think as well Fredman! I think it would be interesting. Of course I can't imagine the horrors of the first initial run of it.... there are always bugs no matter what the software. I'd imagine it would take some time and patience to work the kinks out but after all...

Hey Cypress, that sounds pretty interesting. Have you ever thought about possibly applying it to a real bonsai? I think it would be cool to have a tool that would let you see what your bonsai would look like if you wired it this way or that way, etc... That way it kinda makes it more than a...

Additionally, I do realize that there are other programs that exist but to be honest, I have tried out many of them and I was never really impressed by them.

Hi everyone. I haven't posted here in quite awhile, been very busy with life! As I am a software developer, I have been itching to build an application for bonsai! I was curious if you guys ever though about having some sort of "dream application" for your bonsai collection and if so what...

I appreciate the response Blake! I've been enjoying my juniper and I've been trying to read everything I can about bonsai. Between a full-time job, a wife and kids, and schooling I hardly get time to do much these days. I have a few books on order and I'm looking forward to receiving...

I might be a little paranoid here (and who could blame me since I would hate to lose a $60 investment in only two weeks) but I noticed today that the foliage on my green mound looked a little green/gray instead of the vibrant green it has been lately. It did get a lot of rain recently and this...

Thanks for the additional info Ed! I have an additional question about fertilizer. I read that this late in the year that it is best to go with a 0:10:10 fertilizer since nitrogen promotes new growth. Still have a couple of months till winter so how often should I be fertilizing right now...

Thanks B! I took a gander and what I am assuming is your blog (in your signature). That is definitely some interesting stuff you got there! What was going on with that one tree seemed like some bonsai Frankenstein stuff to me and I hope that one day I can understand exactly what was going...

Thanks Doug! And thank you for your service as well. You most certainly served in a more trying time and war than I did. It was rough so I couldn't even fathom what Vietnam was like. I will definitely update my profile. Thanks for the info and I look forward to my time here at Bonsai Nut!

Thanks for the quick response! Are you saying it does look healthy? The "n" kinda threw me off. Also, I might be jumping in this pretty quick, but I am planning on going to Brussel's Bonsai sometime in the next couple of weeks. I am really thinking about a Japanese Maple. Would this be...

Hi everyone, I am new to bonsai and this is technically my second tree. My first tree was back in 2004 and was also a green mound. I was in the army then and had to leave for training. Upon getting back I found out that the person I left the tree in care of didn't water it so it was green...
