    New Mountain Hemlock Project

    I agree, like I said on BonsaiSite, it already looks great. Really a great find!

    Oval or rectangle? Cypress Forest

    Thanks rockm! :D My forest will be more focused on numbers and not so much on the trunks of the individual trees. But I will have one specific tree formed into the flat top style and the trunk on this one has more movement in it than a typical formal style cypress (nothing crazy, just not pencil...

    Oval or rectangle? Cypress Forest

    That is actually the general idea for my forest. Thanks for the picture! It's kinda funny because at the moment my tree set up is very similar to this one except his are a lot nicer. I have one large flat top (not with a base like that thought, I wish!) and two slightly smaller trees. Then I...

    Oval or rectangle? Cypress Forest

    Thanks! I now believe an oval should definitely look better, 100%. Just trying to find the right size now.

    Trident Maple suggestions?

    Are you happy with your purchase? Would you recommend? I've considered buying a tree from them if I happen to see the perfect one pop-up.

    Trident Maple suggestions?

    Happy bonsai? The lower branch is bothering me and needs work. Other than that it's kinda hard to get a good 360 view of the tree, the 2nd and 3rd pictures would be better if taken level like the 1st and 4th pictures and from the two remaining sides. Makes it difficult to view. Thats my 2 cents

    Oval or rectangle? Cypress Forest

    So I'm confused... Is that an oval or a rectangle...? :rolleyes: Ok oval it is. Hahahaha :p

    Oval or rectangle? Cypress Forest

    No big deal if it's off topic, still a good discussion. I do agree the 3 and 1 does seem to work. Maybe because the main tree is so large and it offsets the arrangement by having odd numbers on both sides? Yes it may be harder to arrange properly and still look good, but if you can make it look...

    Oval or rectangle? Cypress Forest

    I was thinking about that as well. But for some reason it doesn't bother me to much, maybe because of the drastic size difference in the trees? I think, if it was mine, I would consider putting a smaller tree in front of the two on the right.

    Oval or rectangle? Cypress Forest

    Ok, I just watched a few of your videos and you have some nice cypress. Those things are big and have real nice buttresses! I know a buddy of mine would freak if he could find something like that to collect here. We have been looking to collect some large bald cypress but haven't came up lucky yet.

    Oval or rectangle? Cypress Forest

    Very nice, thanks for the pictures. Yeah, I mostly see forest in ovals but for some reason I keep thinking this particular idea will look good in a rectangle. Not sure why, maybe I'm over thinking it. The picture definitely helps though. The base on the largest tree looks amazing. Where did you...

    Oval or rectangle? Cypress Forest

    I'm going to be creating a bald cypress forest in the spring most likely a natural swamp setting. I'm probably going to create an area to hold water to add to the natural look of the landscape. I've already prepared the larger trees over the past year and collected most the smaller tree's I need...

    Tree id & collecting tips

    I've done a lot of landscape work over the years and realized they wont be easy to dig. I did fear, as you have stated, that this would be hard to do in one season. The surface roots are big and I would imagine not much along the lines of fine feeder roots anywhere near by.... hmmm not looking...

    Tree id & collecting tips

    Thanks but it is quite hard to find much better around here. Hard to find anything real interesting in terms of yamadori, most everything is fairly straight with the exception of a select handful. I at least want to dig a few for experience with the species. Plus there are some I feel I can do...

    Tree id & collecting tips

    Thanks for the info. Yes there are many more that have been cut back but I was hoping to get them while I could even if they weren't ideal. Their is a good chance the new future owner could clear everything out anyways. The nebari looks pretty good, I figured if I collected this one I...

    Tree id & collecting tips

    I'm a little worried about attempting to collect these though. We basically have this season to collect because by this time next year the land could be sold. I've mostly read that it is difficult to successfully collect these trees all at once because they depend so much on a large tap root...

    Tree id & collecting tips

    Thanks for the quick responses, thats what I thought as well but I wasn't 100% sure considering the leaves look different than all the larger ones in the area. I assume these are juvenile leaves that popped out since the tree had been cut back? Couldn't find much on the internet along the lines...

    Tree id & collecting tips

    Thinking this may be some type of oak? I've found quite a few nice trees that had been chopped back in the past that I would consider collecting, if it is worth it that is. Wondering if anyone could help me ID this tree please. Thanks

    something new always going on here

    Thanks for the info. I knew it was a pretty intense process that required lots of time. Wasn't sure how much people were spending though, but really i just wanted to know more about it. Definitely don't want to bother importing anything, I'll let other guys deal with that. I am aware of most...

    Great trees but somehow I keep finding myself admiring your grass. haha beautiful yard! Did you also get these from the growing grounds as you had stated in the last thread?

    something new always going on here

    Do you have experience with them? I'm just curious as to what is involved with importing a tree. How are their prices compared to a similar tree being sold here and how much would importing cost?

    Wax Myrtle, Myrica cerifera

    I didn't want to revive such an old thread but I figured why not since it was already here. I was wondering what experience people had with these trees and if this particular tree or any others have worked out well as bonsai specimen. If so a friend and I have found some decent specimen on his...

    Guidance in collecting some native species.

    Does anyone else have any experience with wax myrtle. Any other input on this species would be great. Trying to mark possible specimen to collect fairly soon.
