an idea If you get you larch in a larger box and making it movable you might some effect to increasing the vigor in a greenhouse (65 to 78 degrees F) during growth but letting the outside cold work on it during dormancy. CAREFUL green housing this tree you can cook it death it needs air around...

... to smoke... I think i was kind of hurt more because i admire your work I read your post religiously because you give good advice and your skilled at what you do. I suppose tone does not convey well with type either. I took a joke harshly. Washington is great for many things as far as...

awesome work. Very impressive and stoic to keep up such a duty. You have reworked material that would be a lost cause for most. After seeing this progression and a few ideas that you have used i think i might try my hand at a problematic maple that no matter what my friend has tried has done...

nice!!! beautiful work. I just clip and grow mehtods for my two elms but they are small tiny shohin and resemble landscaping trees... =( straight trunks and i am so involved in planning others i dont do much but try to keep the form i have established. It is a wonderful tree and very...

what i see I would try to perhpas reduce to the trunk line a bit rework branches into new postion and restyle into a more upright style. I would trunk this guy and when healthy and vigourous enough apply a layering above the roots with a skirt to help spred intial new roots repot and treat...

a thought some of the intially worst material can in the right eyes become great works. Also box built and moved into a cool unheated area say a garage or makeshift hoop house could give the relief you need. Maybe if you are careful you can begin to tourniquet the roots to force them higher...

I am looking to collect a few whips for training at the end of spring after a few projects are of the bench and back in the nursery to be happy. A person had contacted me here form a nearby area but i have forgotten who and i lost the info i wrote down. So if you know who you are please give a...

what i saw today I saw a huge douglas fir that could be the big twin of your creation. I wish i had my camera because it could give some insight. Even if it a s juni they had the same structure. I think the tree is coming along well. And with time you will find the right balance in what you...

Again How about you dont and just skim past my post from now on smoke. Know it all overly corrective is not an opinion. If you want to tear another down then look in the mirror. Good bye and do not respond to my posts thank you. If you have to weight respect then dont bother it is a lost...

idea I love these trees and want to collect a few one day. It has potential to become alot more impressive than it is now. Depends on what you want to do. I see a deadwood featuve dominated by a new trunk. But my ideas yours and others offer little guidance when it is your bonsai. I...

about trees poms do well here but olives rot. We have a lot of saturation effects from humidity alone. I imagine if cared for better it would fare well but the attempts i have seen have not but a lot of poms do well here so long as they are potted up. I have never seen ground plantings of...

pic shinpaku potted today

Shinpaku as of today. We have a better easier time with climate living along the pacific rim in the willamette micro climate. Winters temps at a low of for two days 20 degrees most night well above 40 and days about 50 to 60 with high humidity. Trees thrive here like no other. So we dicided...

repost read other post thank you

in theory Well in theory this would make all the cultivars breedable for new cultivars?? Are they the same or not shoudl be simple and i am sure if one researches deep enough you can find somehard science to prove it. I would tend to think they are there own breeds but like dogs they are all...

I was wondering what season is best to collect a yew. I have a very small undergrown yew that needs to be out in more sun since the rhodis have swallowed all of the light. Pruning these back is not a option here so the yew will go in to a pot to begin training and trunking. (larger pot...

dimensions What is the size of that plant. Is in a one gallon nursery container?? Just wondering on what the size of it was is all. Looks nice will be a fun cascade in the future.

I think the other guy had a valid point with saying if you water is not killing you then it wont kill your trees. And in the desert well water is usually undrinkable due to gypsum in the sand leaching into the ground water but it has no effect on the plant life just makes animals go insane and...

concept for water storage Use nature. Get a good kidex barrel or two. Let them be the storage add goldfish and water lillies to and viola natural water purifier. The sand in the bottom and the lillies will reduce most pollution for. You get beauty and pure water The fish will keep the...

after mroe research its barely a tree... More bushy shrub but the foliage is so delicate for a juni and has such a nice appearence. I am looking to find some larger stock as well. I have found one that has a 3/4 inch caliper. And you are correct in saying i will pay for the caliper. The...

I have a fe junis San jose a few green mound even some tams. I never had a shimpaku unitl three days ago. I have to say it is a beautiful tree and being a mpale lover and a fall show kind of guy I have found a real liking for this tree. I was looking for more information about average grwoth...

... Well had intended for having the wisteria for a spring show in the garden. I have done some research at the library. I already feel this pant is to big to ever manage in a pot. To have any reasonable results i will have to do another serious reduction in three years or so that we see...

thought some trees also produce natural antifreeze to protect the plant. I will look into that a bit but i think i remember something of this in a class a few years back. I have to admit that i am a bit jealous never getting any weather than rain. I have for a few years hoped for a good...

=0 what are the actual trunk dimensions??

Idea I see a swaying cascade thing happening. Something more liek a cascade uprigth if that makes sense. The knot could be turned into a hollow and really make the tree feel imposing. In my opinion. A nice upright more formal liek could be awesoem too. But for the most part i see a tree...
