Keep it going Vance. It's the sign of a man to take hits and keep on going. And it's the sign of a little boy to keep spewing venom in ignorance. Loose lips, sink ships. And to quote something from the Bible, Matthew 7:5 "You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will...

I second that!!!!

Sounds like a good plan, Ryan. Keep us in the loop. Have a great weekend!!! Sam

BNut is right, airlayers would leave you with three trees. Cutting back to where you're talking about would leave you with a sweet little tree. I would advise you not to repot at the same time or at least not as aggressive as the trunk chop. I aggressively cut mine and it had severe dieback and...

Been on that website at least 50 times and never noticed that. He's got some great trees in there and from what I can tell, for a great deal. Have a great weekend!!! Sam

That tree is HUGE. I've never seen stuff like that on their website. I thought he only sold smaller stuff. Did you just email him directly for that or am I missing something? Good luck with it. Keep us posted. Have a great weekend!!! Sam

Wow, I've never been on Andy's website before. He's got some nice stuff. I don't really care much for pines personally but there is some great potential there. Does anyone else have any other sources like this? It's great to hear you guys recommend him too. Have a great weekend!!! Sam

This is a most helpful thread. I wish there was more like this or maybe there are and I just haven't really looked. If nurseries and potters knew that we talk to one another about vendors they'd be more willing to be more professional. It's really important because we are part of the customer...

Robert, I'm sorry for the delay. I won't give you any sorry excuses but without further ado these are my thoughts on your wonderful book. Have a great week!!! Sam ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert Steven has been...

I second his opinion. Deciding on how big you want the tree will definitely tighten your options. I think raintrees are some of the best species for bonsai. You could do a Pierneef style tree or umbrella style tree, or you could do a tree like Budi Sulistyo did, which is kind of like an oak...

Thanks Jason. Erik has a small tree on his website? I hadn't seen it yet. Do you have a link to it? I forgot to mention this little guy is only 4 inches tall. Have a great week!!! Sam

I got this little guy at Wigert's nursery. Here are some progression pics. I plan to do a Pierneef style with it. This thing grows like a weed. It's quickly become one of my favorite trees. Pictures are as I bought it, Front, Rear and Dorothy's virtual. Thank you again Dorothy for making...

Hey Robert, I received the book yesterday afternoon. I'll write my review on it a little bit later, but based on what I saw last night, I was very impressed. I'm honestly not just saying this because I respect you as an artist and a visionary, but because that's exactly how I felt. THANK YOU...

Thank you for sending out the book Robert. I can't wait to save some money and order "Vision of my Soul". I will most definitely let you know what I think of it, although I think I will really REALLY enjoy it. Thank you also for your explanation to Smoke. I thought the piece of deadwood at...

THANK YOU Robert. I just sent the email with my information. Have a great weekend Sam

Whooohoooo Congratulations Dorothy!!!! Keep up the good work!!! Robert, this is amazing material that I'm sure will look even more amazing in time. Have a great week everyone!!! Sam

Wow, he did a great job with it. Have a great week!!! Sam

Here's my try at this. I don't have Photoshop so this was all done using MS Paint.

I don't think it's fair that Dorothy can compete in this :) That chick is amazing. Her virtuals are by far some of the best I've seen. I'll see if I can fake something up. I'd love to have a shot at that book. Amazing material Robert. It would be welcome on my bench....ANYTIME. Have a great...

Hey guys, Here is my RainTree that is being trained in the Pierneef style by Erik Wigert. I'll be bringing it home to NC early next year. Thank you so much for talking about the lights required during the winter. It was a major point of concern for me. I think I'm going to try either a T5...

I buy my copper wire from Julian Adams and so does my club. I haven't bought aluminum wire yet but I've heard good things about Dallas Bonsai.

Hey Paul, I am a huge Erik Wigert fan. Erik has one of my raintrees down there that he is training for me in the flat-top style, so I know first hand the level of knowledge this guy has with raintrees. It is astonishing how well and how fast he has developed my tree. I've also been to his...

Yup, that's Erik Wigert's flat top Raintree. That tree is amazing!!! Have a great week y'all Sam

Same thing with mine this year. The germination rate I got was 10 out of 300. I followed the instructions from Misho exactly. Soaked for 48 hours and in the fridge for 90 days. Black Pine did fantastic. The trident and zelkova not so. Really weird. But whatever, there is always next year. I'm...
