I meant a disassembled joint, not larger photo :)

Great looking stands, that triple miter joint is awesome, is it hand cut joinery? I'd love to see an exploded view...

Mike, slipping the existing rim down into the pot after cutting is a great idea!

For those interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xE8nK4T_WsI&t=2m18s Had I not seen it, I wouldn't have believed the level of stupidity... I have a 10" left tilt 3hp cabinet saw... the thought of pushing a 1" thick duct tape panel through it scares the cr*p out of me...

Wow, both of you, those are some great trees! Thomas, the pics came out very good.

This is all most excellent advice... I bought the tree on sale for $1.88 so if I kill it in the repotting process I certainly wouldn't be heartbroken or bankrupt... I found a local supplier (first one I called actually) that has Turface MVP 50lb bag for $12.75... I have some 7-7-7 fertilizer...

Hi all, I was asked by a friend today how to stake a full-sized tree to promote upright growth. Currently he has two trees and they are leaning slightly and his hope was to stake them and pull them back into the upright... When I googled tree staking, I ran accross this interesting article...

Does a sharp shovel in any other country dig as deep? :p He has more on the philosophy, mechanics, and 'rules of thumb' for collecting than he does on anything that could be considered country specific... I found it to be quite the interesting and informative read.

I believe this is the three part series you're referring to... http://www.bonsai4me.com/AdvTech/ATcollectring%20trees%20from%20the%20wild%20W%20Pall.htm

I second that! lol Although, maybe I'll skip the whole bark thing and go straight for the beer...

Clyde, Thank you, that's exactly the kind of advice I was looking for, I think I'll keep them under the pomegranate trees, there should be plenty of ambient and reflected light, while keeping them shaded from direct sun, and it is also in a corner of the yard where the walls never receive...

Thank you to all for the advice. :-) I guess I'll work on styling and keeping them alive...

Sorry about that, I thought I had already entered that in the profile, it's fixed now. I live in Las Vegas, NV. USDA zone 9a

I am a newbie to bonsai and was wondering if it's too late in the year to repot a Juniper Chenensis 'Sea Green' and cut back the roots. It is currently in a 1gal nursery pot and I have just recently styled it removing a fair bit of foliage and extraneous branches.

I'm still too new at this to offer you any guidance, but that is one nice looking tree you have there... It's going to be beautiful when it's finished. Great start!

Great progression! I'd love to see what the last 4 years of training has done!

Wow, those sound like some screamin' deals...

Wow, great job!

Thanks for these great links! I had already run across the Graham Potter videos (that guy does some amazing stuff!) but the others are new to me... Has anyone seen the videos that Charles from kuromatsu bonsai does? Other than his monotone/un-excited speech and awkward pauses at the end of...

Wow, I'm both inspired and jealous! Lucky for me I live in las Vegas so the trek wouldn't be nearly as far to find one of these treasures. I've been an admirer of bonsai since I first saw it on a class trip to the Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens in Pasadena, CA some 15 or more years...
