Nice job! Thanks for sharing…

That’s pretty cool. Plus I love LOTR. I hope over time the canopy grows to give the impression of a broad spreading tree which is how I imagine bag end in my head.. thank for sharing.

I usually do really large cuts or chops in Late spring/ summer where I am. It gives time to heal big wounds before winter. Only on vigorous trees. Any kind of pruning can be done around this time really. Fall time is when I do most of my structural pruning again avoiding large wounds on...

Yes. You are exactly right. It will take cleaning out and drying really well before treating. I am a woodworker and keep different viscosity super glues around for different purposes. The very thin waterlike one is the one to use when seeking deep penetration. Dry wood will soak it up readily...

Picked up these 3 bonsai over the weekend. Still feeling super stoked.. The forest is very inspiring and is a joy to have in the garden. The forest is trident maple The other 2 are a pyracantha and an azalea. The latter will need rebuilding as they suffered from die back, sadly. But both have...

Just picked this up Last weekend. Had some branches die back with previous owner. But a decent price sucked me in and now its in my garden. Its budding back well so will just let it get healthy and will begin to work on it when its strength allows. The trunk is rotted out and dead wood will...

Just bought this last weekend. Its my first pyracantha. Not overly familiar with the species but potential of the trunk lines drew me in. its had some die back of branches but I was unable to find out the cause. its bouncing back already and my understanding is pyracantha bud back well when...

Ya I feel ya. Or I always have till a few days ago.. at least. Make sure to join any local clubs to you. I think if I had done that along time ago something like this would have been way more possible. Also any sellers or gardens around you that keep bonsai… let them know you’re on the hunt...

Yes. It definitely needs some trimming of the upper canopy. As there are some thick branches in the apex areas of the individual trees. Was hoping to do it in late spring while still leafless. It’s a bit difficult to see clearly and make those decisions now. I willl study it in winter and...

Just acquired this wonderful forest. Posting some photos for documentation over time. First pic is as purchased. Second is after some partial defoliation light thinning of the upper canopy to allow light into the interior. lower branches and inside the canopy branches are getting leggy or...

A quick trim and wire today.
