    Chinese Elm Shohin- Root Stock

    The first two pics are root stock from another tree which came out really good for a semi cascade bonsai, the other obviously is not but didn't want to make a separate thread for it so I included it in here, it took on the exact form I was looking for now that I've had it for a few years. :)...

    I Hate Hail

    Everything was looking good for one of my in ground tridents yesterday morning, not so much this morning after our hail storm last night, living in Texas in the spring can be brutal at times, and spring has just begun.

    Tridents in the Ground

    These three tridents were planted from seed in 2017 and put in the ground about 1 1/2 - 2 years later. They were from the start in pond baskets before being replanted in the ground. They shot up like crazy in the ground each one differing in trunk girth as shown. A few weeks ago I finally cut...

    Kiryu Soil

    Just wondering how this stuff (Kiryu Soil) would work in place of Akadama for JBPs since I can't find any really hard fired Akadama like I used to, seems the stuff out there now is the kind that breaks down and turns into mud. Thought I would replace it with this or at least try. Some say It's...

    What Kind of Soil?

    I have a friend who acquired a ficus bonsai some years back and it has a very meaningful sentimental value to her. She knows I do bonsai and has asked me to repot it for her since it hasn't been repotted in some time. The tree stays indoors at all times and does very well. My question is I don't...

    What Is This?

    Who can tell me what these are, they are similar to buds it looks like but out of all my years working with JBPs I've never had these.
