Our summer has been a little cooler and much wetter this year. All my plants have been very happy about that. The only thing is, since the hurricane passed by, I have been innudated with bugs! I think they blew in with the storm because this year I've had to actively fight them much more than...

You would!! Libby

I got to see it go over us several years ago when they had to land in Bakersfield. Beautiful. Libby

He's having a lot of fun doing this! Libby

We survived just fine! Today we could finally come home, due to the roads being blocked off by water and debris. But we're home now and doing good. Libby

Yes, Stacy, I was really hoping that it would stay to the east of us. Even a direct hit, as long as it was cat 2 or less, would be better than the thing coming onshore in Mississippi. We'll stay until we have to go, but we won't be on the island during the storm. The next couple of days will...

We're keeping our fingers crossed. I really hope we just get a lot of rain and some wind--but no hurricane! Will be spending the weekend watching and waiting. Libby

I really enjoy IBC. I mostly just lurk, but post every once in a while. There's some good people over there. Libby

I'm having the same problem. I thought it was just my computer, but maybe not? Most of the time lately I have to go back and delete multiple posts. Thanks for saying something. Libby

That forest of yours is beautiful. I hope I get the chance to see it as it matures. Libby

Thanks, Brian. I'm pretty sure I can do that now. What a beautiful tree! I wish I could have Japanese maples, but I'm too close to the gulf here on the island. it takes 2-3 years, but they all die off due to the salt air. Tridents like here, but just not the same, is it? Libby

Where do you live?

Lol!!!!!!!!!!!

Vance, Your pictures of mugos have me planning to get one to work with myself. They look like fun trees to watch over the years. Libby

I guess I have seen that done. I'll just have to work with it then. Any other ideas out there? Libby

Question. I have trouble with wiring the trees down properly, and still leaving the upper most roots free to grow into good nebari. I mean I think I'd mark the roots too much if I put the wires on top of them. How do others handle this. Libby

I have been watching them more this year than I have before now, and thouroughly enjoying them. Libby

They are in Whoville! Libby

I'd be interested in knowing how far south these trees like to live as well. Salt tolerance? Libby

Welcome to BonsaiNut! Libby

For once, Harry I with you here. You started a perfectly good thread and people with an agenda ruined it for you. You should have been able to enjoy this thread. Libby

Share please!? Libby

I'm looking for input here as well. I have a rosemary that needs repotting, but I've been leery of killing it. Libby

Here's a related question. I tend to stick lots of cuttings in pots as I go. When they root i've got more babies to do something with. How long does it take to grow out of this phase? Or do some never grow out of it. There's just so many plants you can give away to people. Libby

In a pot, Lantana like a lot of water, unlike in the ground where they are drought tolerant. Don't let it dry out completely for very long at all. Libby
