    Hurricane Michael

    Praying for everyone affected by this hurricane. Cannot imagine living there and seeing everything gone... Fortunately not many lives lost. Homes and bonsai collections not so fortunate. Hope Vin is safe. Blessings sent

    First Colorado Blue.

    Adair, so with many of my collected sitka spruce having a lot of buds closer to the trunk... is it ok to trim back to those now? I let the earlier buds run and would like to shorten the branches back to where the new buds have formed. The big colorado has put new growth into pushing the early...

    First Colorado Blue.

    Adair, yes I did exactly that in years past and appreciate you clarifying when to do this. I just let it go this year as it was showing weakness and figured it was on its way out like the other. I kept it watered and fed but didn't expect much. It has pushed new buds and growth and looks...

    Fringe Tree

    Leo, I posted in the general forum yesterday, perhaps the wrong place. I just lost one of the fringe trees...it was later budding out than the others, then weakly put out some small leaves before losing its life... The roots were healthy and strong like a boxwood so I looked further into its...

    Chinese Fringe dead, autopsy results

    One of the 3 chinese fringe trees I have had over 12 years gave up the ghost this year. It started budding out with the others, weakly and didn't finish. Today I pulled it out of the colander to check roots. They were thick and healthy but the branches were starting to dry out. Upon close...
