Uproot yourself! Yes I know the pot color is not ideal, but it’s all I had. I did cut a fair amount of heavy roots off. Here’s to hoping it survives. It was pretty flat on the bottom since I planted it on a paver. Also I cut around the roots last year so it would develop them closer to the...

I ask because I’m wanting to sell off most of my stuff and keep a handful of trees

So the only time I tried to ship a tree I got stopped at USPS where they told me I could not ship live plants. Also took it to UPS and the purchaser never received the tree so I do not know if the same thing happened? Has anyone ran into this problem where you need a nursery license to ship trees?

Still alive. This thing is so damn vigorous it’s hard to keep it restrained. Needs a proper pot but I’ve grown accustomed to the fact it will never be a high level tree.

RIP. This one was hard to lose. Just died out of nowhere.

End of season update. Cut circle around roots about two months ago. I chopped it shortly after my last post. Now the question is when I pot it up do I keep two or all three of the trunks I left in place. Looking forward to the next photo in the early spring/late winter in a pot

Yes, it appears there is no reason to do any type of movement until the very base/ first section is as thick as you want it. You just lose the taper and movement as it thickens in ground.

That has not been my experience with cork bark type elms. Tried several air layers on this and all failed. Cuttings in a misting bed of 1 year old wood, at 5 minute intervals produced roots

Update. Never did chop it. Thinking I may chop a little lower than I did.

Just thought I’d post an interesting subject,KJ, for discussion. Originally I was growing the left side long and strong to build a thick base for the permanent tree on the right that would stay shohin sized. Now I’m wondering if the left side shouldn’t be thought about being kept. In any case...

I’ll snap a photo but it hasn’t done much of anything being in a bonsai pot. Very slow growth

Smash like button x 10000!

Both maple experts on one post!!! Holy shit let me get pictures of my trees in this post for advice!!! You guys are awesome

True true

Can’t argue with results.

Of course if you want just the flowers then yes you can try to do that. Timing will be critical

You should leave them. The tree knows what’s best for it to do. Undoubtably it will start to push new leaves a couple weeks after you cut it. At least that’s what ours do in north Florida. Your winter must not be that cold either or it wouldn’t have leaves on it still.

I’ve hd dogs most my life. Usually two at a time but they were always outside dogs until my ex moved in with her sweet little pit girl that changed my mind about the breed. Then couple years later comes the boy. I still have both. She is 13 and starting to go deaf and blind. She stayed with...

I would keep them outdoors covered but with a heat mat. You don’t really want the buds swelling and opening before you have roots during the winter. I believe I heard someone say that the optimal ambient air temp is 45 degrees and root zone temp of 80 degrees for root formation less bud swell

I do when I’m feeling lonely but otherwise it’s in the crate. Too much dog hair everywhere. I love having dogs around but I’m thinking the next one will be outdoors 24/7 except in the really cold nights

That’s right juds. Giving up was never an option. Luckily the warm bottle in the penguin did soothe him the next night and the rest is history. It really helped having an older dam in the house to show cooper his manners. She really didont take too nicely to him trying to latch on her...

All these never ending blooming azalea varieties they are coming out with. These were part of a dog with my local bonsai group earlier this year. May I believe. Flash was on in both shots. The pink one is really a nice red color

Speaking of heat mats. Anyone ever tried using a hot compost pile as a heat source for bottom heat? I am currently just playing with this crabapple I dug up. I almost said the hell with it multiple times. It’s in a pot about 12 inches down. Of course there is no heat control except for what...

70 degrees here today. ?
