    sick chinese elm

    My chinese elm has a yellow/white foam oozing out in three spots. The bark is wet looking even though it has not been watered. Can anyone confirm the illness and tell me how to treat. I've never seen this before. It had some ants so I did a quick repot without cutting any roots. I did spray the...

    New Trident Maple

    Thanks guys. The picture shows a lot of reverse taper due to a branch but it's very slight in person, easily corrected without trunk chopping. I have a trident with a dome top so I was looking for something different. She already has a sibling too ;)

    New Trident Maple

    The tree came from Guy Guidry. He listed it on ebay and I made him an offer. I got it for about 60% of retail. Tim

    New Trident Maple

    I thought I would share the new trident I recently purchased. It's 30" tall and has a 6" trunk, and man is it heavy! 65 lbs! I'm looking forward to spring and working this monster! Tim

    Time to transplant JBP?

    Newly repotted trees should not freeze. Repot only if you can keep them above 32. Also not a good idea to let them freeze with wire on them. Tim

    Shohin Shimp

    I just bought this shohin from Colin Lewis and thought I would share. Although it's a young tree Colin did a great job making it look older and refined. I really like the snake like shape of the trunk and the nice shari work. It stands 7.5" with a 3/4" trunk. Tim
