I'm in South Florida and everything is flushed out already no cedar elms but alot of other ones and what zones are these oaks good to

what are you looking for i'll trade or buy

In my experience being pot bound wouldn't do that ficus don't mind did it get to cold

yah if your just cutting leaves off your not killing them. I have a monster banyan in my neighbors yard and when ever the wind blows I see them I use a systemic to ward mine off

here pic

when I root branches or cuttings I put them in a big rectangular styrofoam box with good drainage and a lot of perlite and I keep the soil shallow so the roots have to spread then you get a nice radial nebri to start with

these are not finished trees so no grief please. I have alot of work planed for them once it warms up. The shorter one has a fat nebri and i've seen some with nice neb's but then again i'm in Florida

I'm in this boat, I would cut one back as a tester and see how well it comes back first , then find a bigger maybe rectangular semi shallow container, get some good soil , then clump them together better and cut them back, next wire and bend some to the left and right to try to create a banyan...

the bottom pic is of the branches I cut off they are all rooted now I guess I should put some updated photos

I was just taking into consideration that hes not down here in zone 9-10 hell I use old styrofoam boxes for some of mine but for the price and that they draw out moisture you really cant beat it for what hes trying to do especially if its not out in full sun on tables with no shade like at Durastone

Ryan the azalea pots jkl is talking about are terracotta clay with extra drain holes and breath very well and very inexpensive you shouldn't spend more then a few bucks wait I take that back the orchid ones are the ones with the extra drain holes but I would also highly recommend using the...

just remember they do like it on the dry side so not alot of water if it really needs water the leaves will be a little droopy

I dont know about seedlings but you can get a nice specimen for 15 bucks from Robert Pinder at dragon tree bonsai in Florida I can take some pictures next time im out there which will be any day now I go out there all the time I was out there working on a Brazilian rain tree yesterday I also...

Thanks for the interest nobody wants to talk to me :( anyway I have been experimenting with soil mixes so the ones in the photos may have different mixes you want a very free draining mix that doesn't hold onto moisture to long with the cuttings and now with the seedlings im using 50% perlite...

Sounds right on and very informative this needs to be marked as a reference I use a heavy turface mix with my seedlings and terracotta pots the pots really breath well I get the best results this way I was also wondering if anyone has gotten theses little black spots on any of the leaves its...

well thats why I started the thread thanks for the input cubbie. I was told this from someone in Brazil and then to actually find some with no thorns I got to admit I thought I was onto something thanks

how about that I answered my own question I found a thorn-less BRT today Well Robert at Dragon tree bonsai found 2 large ones in his stock today and he is friends with the guy at New England bonsai so they all may have come from the same place anyway I was giving some good size cuttings from...

my point being would be to increase the hardiness you see im in zone 10 where acer rubrum is the only native maple that does well here. Well I can grow tridents but not as well as rubrums I did just acquire with much much searching and then had to get seed from australia was the Taiwan trident...

Ok well this season I was lucky enough to get ahold of some brt seeds for some reason though my local bonsai Nursery and I have trouble getting are's to produce seed pods he even has a huge one in the ground that flowers but does not produce seed pods I have rooted a bunch of cuttings with no...

by no means is it anywhere where I want it I ran out of perlite and energy the picture does it no justice those branches are thick I need to go get a chainsaw

like the title says I removed this out of someones yard for them I did the work for trade. I almost bleed to death the tree was twice a tall before I pruned it down I had to carry this thing myself is it normal to have a testicle hanging out of your ear, man that thing was heavy if anyone wants...
