Does anyone have pics of how you moved all your trees to a new home? I’m am going to move about 40 trees to a new house we are building. I am at a loss of how I can safely do it. I have both small and large trees. My concern is that if I load them all in a uhaul truck they will slide around and...

I tried green Dream and when they got wet they turned to mush. Does anyone use a slow release organic fertilizer that does not do this? Comercially available.

Picked this up from a friend today who collected it in the pikes peak area at 8000 ft. He collects a lot of them and due to the bark believes it to be 300-400 years old. You don't see bark like this on young pondy's. It's even has the red bark that does not start until they are a couple...

I got my first wisteria this spring to start on its bonsai journey. I thought these guys only bloom early spring. This pic is from today. I will repost when in full bloom. Any thoughts?

I have an azalea that leafs are turning black at the tips, but the rest of the leaf looks healthy. Can anyone think of a cause of this? Fertilizer burn? I watered it for 5 minutes straight yesterday to rinse anything out just in case. I have used miracle grow azalea food liquid mix at full...

This is a pic from eBay. Check out how healthy this JPB looks. It's almost unbelievable. House of bonsai has many of these on eBay and they all look like this. Now check out the soil they are planted in. Looks like almost at least 90% organic and very dry. Makes you think twice about the boons...

I'm always struck in awe when I see a red leafed Japanese maple with stark white bark. Like the image here. I have two red leafed maples and the bark is light, but not stark white. I'm toying with the idea of applying lime sulfur to one of them to see if I can achieve this. Just wondering if...

So I have to leave home for 7 days. I have tropicals that can't go outside under the automatic watering system, because it's too cold. I did some research and found different examples of wicking to water trees. I tried this simple one for 7 days and it worked perfectly. It's paper towels stuck...

What changed here? I can no longer posts picks from my I devices easily. It says I need to enter a URL? Did I miss something? This is a real bummer. Please help me find the post about these changes. You used to be able to just pull photos easily off of iPhone and iPad. :confused:

Does anyone have a index of bonsai today articles? Looking for an easy way to lookup articles on certain subjects easily.

I needed a shade umbrella for a outside table I use to work on trees. This was my answer. It's coming in the mail next week. 49 inches tall from soil. 22 inch wide nabari. I got it from artisans bonsai out of Florida. Now to find a pot.......

We had a Ice storm blow in over the last couple of days. Here is a couple of pics of a San Jose juniper I have.

Does anyone recognize this stamp? It's on a pot I'm going to buy.

I got invited to come see this private collection of prebonsai, bonsai, yamadori, and landscape trees. And yes stuff was for sale. This guy had probably over 100 collected trees like below. I will post more pics in the coming days. I did not come home with a tree like below, but I did get a...

Won this guy at auction yesterday. He measures about 5ftx5ft. Can't wait to repot, cut back and start working on his future.

After thinking about it all summer I finally settled on a design I liked. I'm making four of theses guys. Cinder blocks make great legs, but I hate the way they look. Hope you enjoy the idea. Each one costs about $120 in supples.

We sometimes joke about the "2nd spring" we have down here. I thought I would post some pics I took today of a trident maple I have. Those red leaves aren't burnt leaves. Those are a new flush of growth that just began.

This summer I aggressively defoliated this little trident twice. Once on June 1st and again on August 1st. The leaves have hardened off and I thought I would share the results. I plan to keep doing this to this one every year. The leaf size decreased dramatically. I did three years worth of...

People say that you can't find something worth while at box stores or normal nurseries. I only wish I would have taken before pics when I first purchased a few months ago. Black pines are Something you don't find here At local non bonsai nurseries. Well this spring to my surprise I found a...

I just watched this movie. It had bonsai in it. Anybody know who provided them?

Does anyone in zone 7 grow these successfully? I am looking to buy one and wanted to make sure it could thrive here. I looked up its zone hardiness and it seems to be ok, but I sure would like someone with experience to chime in.

Does anyone know of a website with a lot of stands to shop through? I have a pot that is 17.5x12.5 inches that i'm trying to get a stand for. It seems to be hard to find something large enough for it. Where does everybody get there stands from. I'm talking about a stand to put your tree on in a...

100% composted pine bark. You can now get it on EBAY if you don't have a good way to get it. I packed a 12x12x5 large USPS flat rate box as tight as I could. It's a bunch of product. $35 free shipping...

First year to over winter this guy. Also my only satsuki. From the pic I obviously don't want to take any chances. Please anybody with satsuki experience chime in. I need to know the happy temp for this guy. How low can the temps go before sheltering in garage which I don't let dip below 30...
