Hey all. I am about to move to LA, more specifically, North Hollywood area. I have quite a few trees at home, most of which are not worth worrying about, however, I do have a few trees I would like to take with me, despite their minimal development. One is a fairly large Trident Maple. A few...

Hey all, I thought I'd share this Cal Juni with you. My brother and I collected it on 4/4/12. It's doing well now, so I thought I'd post it. A few months prior to collection, we tried experimenting with the Dan Robinson "root enhancement" technique. I enhanced half of the tree. The tree was...

Does anyone know of any good books on Mugo's? I have purchased a few 1 gall trees on different occasions from a local nursery and they all end up dying after about half a year. I love the look of Mugo's but at the risk of killing anymore, I need to get some good in depth information on them at...

A couple days ago I started my 13 day vacation. This is is from day one. I "acquired" this tree a few years ago as one of my first bonsai in a slightly guilty acquisition. My grandmother had this tree that the bottom was a bush with one of the trunks coming straight up and out that had no...

Hey everyone, I got a Redwood (Sequoia Semperviren I believe) for christmas and I was wanting to layer off the top half of the tree. Does anyone know if they can be air-layered or have experience with it? And more specifically, wire tourniquet method or ring cut method? Thanks for the help!

I got this Procumbens Juniper a few years ago, early on when I was getting started, because I like the nebari, and it seemed like it was a great tree, at the time. It wasn't very healthy, so I spent a year or so getting it healthy, then reduced the roots by about 50% into this pot. Its been...

Hey everyone, this is my first post. I've been a member for a year or two and have been following a lot of the posts. That being said, here goes. I recently bought this quite large Trident Maple, Acer buergerianum. I still consider myself quite new to bonsai, having only been doing it for...
