I've ordered from Wigerts before and had a good experience but would prefer to not buy blindly if I can help it. Thanks.

No, no particular species in mind as long as it's a sub/tropical.

Hey Bnuts I'm looking to add 1-3 new tropicals to my collection. If you're in the NYC adjacent-ish area and have any bonsai/pre-bonsai you'd like to part with please message me. If you're outside NYC but are amenable to shipping please message me as well with any trees on offer. Cheers

That's exactly the issue I had with this one. The root ball was so dense and root bound that I'd water it, pull it out of the pot to see that only a fraction of the root ball was actually wet. I slip potted early summer but didn't touch the roots. Would dunking the plant in a case like this be...

Curious if there are particular cultivars of A. palmatum that are better suited to colder environments?

Soo does anyone have a maple for sale lol

Yeah I'm with you there, the trunk has gone from bright green to mud colored. I keep trying to think of where I went wrong during this winter but I did nothing different from any other. Real bummer, this is my first maple.

Update - this little guy is cooked :/ I decided to remove the bottom right branch and changed what would be my front, all was well until 2 months ago. I repotted the first week of March and was admittedly a bit cavalier with root pruning. It dropped leaves weekly and dropped its last one...

Pics; really looking worse for wear :/

Cocaine's a hell of a drug @LanceMac10

Yeah seriously pics would help :p when I get home I will take a picture.

So as of this morning there are still no active buds. All the trees in my neighborhood have all but fully leafed out so I'm a bit worried. I scratched a small part of the trunk and I see green but along other parts and branches it's brown :/ I guess only time will tell?

Nothing I'm afraid. Last Saturday temps on my balcony reached the 70s, the next day it was high 30s so I don't even know what to expect anymore.

I've successfully layered trees before but haven't attempted it on a deciduous. In the future I'll consider it but for now I'd like to learn the nuances of the tree for a couple of seasons first. I'm blown away that people can discern between 2 different species on a graft that's absolutely...
