    Larch development.

    an idea If you get you larch in a larger box and making it movable you might some effect to increasing the vigor in a greenhouse (65 to 78 degrees F) during growth but letting the outside cold work on it during dormancy. CAREFUL green housing this tree you can cook it death it needs air around...

    ... to smoke... I think i was kind of hurt more because i admire your work I read your post religiously because you give good advice and your skilled at what you do. I suppose tone does not convey well with type either. I took a joke harshly. Washington is great for many things as far as...

    The 5 Year Zelkova Challenge

    awesome work. Very impressive and stoic to keep up such a duty. You have reworked material that would be a lost cause for most. After seeing this progression and a few ideas that you have used i think i might try my hand at a problematic maple that no matter what my friend has tried has done...

    chinese elm from nursery

    a thought some of the intially worst material can in the right eyes become great works. Also box built and moved into a cool unheated area say a garage or makeshift hoop house could give the relief you need. Maybe if you are careful you can begin to tourniquet the roots to force them higher...

    My Hollywood Juniper

    what i saw today I saw a huge douglas fir that could be the big twin of your creation. I wish i had my camera because it could give some insight. Even if it a s juni they had the same structure. I think the tree is coming along well. And with time you will find the right balance in what you...

    Fern Leaf Hinoki Cypress

    idea I love these trees and want to collect a few one day. It has potential to become alot more impressive than it is now. Depends on what you want to do. I see a deadwood featuve dominated by a new trunk. But my ideas yours and others offer little guidance when it is your bonsai. I...
