The discharge does smell bad...

Thanks guys, It's a disease called wetwood or slime flux. It comes from a wound, maybe borers. I don't think there is anything that can be done but hope and pray...

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...

Thanks Scott Here's a picture of it last summer.

i do like it a lot and if i could grow maples i would be proud to have it in my collection :) jamie11, Where are you located? Tridents are bullet proof in most areas!

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 ;)

base Here's a shot of the base cleaned up a bit. I'll post a better picture when it leafs out and I move it out of the greenhouse.

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

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

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

Very nice Thomas! I love the cascade! I have one like it but a few years behind yours. Tim

SR pots I bought my first SR pot for a shohin trident last fall and love it. I will be buying more this winter. Tim

Bill, Yes, Vance did have that and other good advice for matching the foliage to the trunk. We talked by PM. Tim

Thanks everyone! Can't wait to work it some. Tim

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

I'm in the same boat as Harry. I buy most of my trees online by picture only. I have never bought a tree I didn't like once I recieved it. I just bought a nishiki from Mark at The Growing Grounds with only one picture from the front. If you buy from someone who knows bonsai you can pretty much...

Great tree Thomas. I love the bark! Tim

Thanks Chris I'll be sure to mark them up if I put them on ebay! :)

Shreveport. I'm a northerner!

Both have been sold.Here are two I thought I would list here before I put them on ebay. Imported Japanese Back Pine Shohin. If you are looking to add a quality jbpine shohin to your collection or start a shohin collection this would be a great investment. This tree stands only 6.5” tall but...

Wo.. slow down here. Harry gave you great instructions for white pine maybe, not black pine. DO NOT cut the strongest first. The weaker areas/branches need a head start. Start with your weaker buds/branches that need to be removed then work toward the apex. A two week lag time from bottom...

October, Very good observation. The tree was loosing inside foliage when I bought it, hence the major thinning by me and Shane. Since then I have been able to get some back budding that the tree really needed. You can see the benefit of patients and good pruning, not just by me but both Shane...
