where at in south east michigan do u live ? i grow up in Morenci and now live just south of Toledo.

I live in Rossford, Ohio. Im just asking to see if there is anyone on this forum that lives in or near Toledo.

i listen to everyones advice. they"ll go in the ground and in a few years if they don't interest me then my mom can use them as yard trees. I live just outside of Toledo, Ohio. The Toledo Bonsai Club meet at a local greenhouse. Which just happens to be only about 10 minutes away. so i do intend...

I knew that the leaf size was going to be an issue when i dug them up. the one in the 2nd and 3rd pics i will see what i can do as for getting it to grow taller with some good taper. but i do want to make all of them a larger scale bonsai. i have also talked to my mom and she will let me replant...

No problem for the hijack judy. :) Troy- thanks for sharing that pic. Jason- I'll keep it for as long as it will stay. I'm not gonna let a stubborn lil guy get me down. i know i was stubborn growing up but my mom kept me around. anyway all the advice i get on these forums i write down so its...

The 2nd and 3rd pictures are of the same tree. the land lord chopped it one day as u can tell by the wound. the soil is what was surrounding it. and i watered them shortly after taking these pics. in case any one points out the soil. lol

the second picture is of the cut that was done to the top before i ever got it.

I will throw some pics up as soon as possible. probably later today (saturday). i will also be making another thread involving some (sugar) maples i dug up from the north side of my house. talk to you later.

Rock- well i do intend on getting some more material. i will use your advice for the future. i guess ill be waiting a while to see what i can do with this little guy. thank you again.

Stan- this siding u speak of... is it generally thin, square and greenish colored. if so, that is what is on my house. and there is a sack of it behind my garage that the land lord told me i could throw away. maybe i hit the jackpot. lol

do you think the cement would be to porous ?

thank you Stan. i have some cement foot path stone. i believe that should work fine? many thanks again

Thank you Bill. i decided that i will trim some of the lowest branches. i believe i have picked my 1st branch, but that my change over the next year or two while its in the ground. i will clean it out as to get some light on the inside and see what other trees or shrubs i can find and get ready...

I went to Home Depot to get a new pot for my jade plant (not bonsai). It was around the middle of October and they had there last few trees and shrubs outside on sale. I grabbed a Dwarf Alberta Spruce. Not sure of the age. From soil to where they cut the top is 13". And the truck at the base is...
