Thanks, I am looking to air layer a trunk that is about 2" wide. The tree is very healthy and growing vigorously.

Has anyone had success air layering a Brazilian Rain Tree? Thanks

Thanks, I have heard several different names as well. I appreciate the input.

Hello Everyone, Could anyone tell me the name of this style of pot/container? I appreciate the help. Thanks

An ellipsis is a set of three periods ( . . . ) indicating an omission. The omission at the end of this title is the personal answer everyone contributed. I will say when I posted this thread it did eliminate the space that goes between each period. You got me there. Brian Van Fleet said: ...if...

You find the best front, set the structure, and prune your Christmas tree while your family is waiting to decorate... Even worse if the tree is artificial... Just thought I would see if anyone wants to play along. Hope everyone has a joyous holiday season.

Fates Warning opening for Queensryche this spring. Tour starts on March 2nd.

My genres of interest mostly are US Power Metal like Fates Warning, Queensryche, Liege Lord, Manilla Road, Omen, and that ilk. Also really into Old School Death and Black Metal like Bathory, Venom, Slaughter, Death.... I would consider myself, if not a scholar, a connoisseur of New Jersey...

Instead of trying to drill it you could use epoxy to secure the tire wires down. I have used a two part clear epoxy and have wires that are still holding after almost 20 years. You take a chance of the rock splitting even using a diamond bit. When you secure your trees on the rock make sure you...

Thanks for the picture. I will start looking around and try my hand at making a rock. Any advice for 1st timer? Have you considered starting a post showing your rock making process? Thanks again

Nice job. The rock looks very nice and the overall planting works well together. I am not familiar with aluminum cement. Could you post a picture of the package? Thanks

Wherever you go, make sure you have permission before doing any collecting.

I plan to put together a full list as soon as I get enough responses. I have checked some of the online resources but have found them to be incomplete. I figured if someone from each state put their local nurseries in we could get a more complete list. I will start populating a state by state...

Hello everyone, About 5 years ago I posted a question about the existence of a national bonsai nursery list. I recieved some good leads but nothing complete. I am posting this thread to ask everyone in the U.S. that would like to participate to send me information on any nurseries that mainly...

If you don't feel comfortable listing your location you can list what zone you are in.

If it was me I would go with the crazy bends and the deadwood.

Welcome to the bonsai world. The health of any tree should always be the first and foremost priority. Try to find out if there is a bonsai nursery near you and take a beginner's class. Have fun

I have been considering starting a forest planting of some kind from seed just to see what happens. Has anyone heard of this being done or have any suggestions? I have wondered if it would be a more natural looking forest planting than trees grown independently and than grouped together. This is...

I like the idea of using the new buds for the long term development of the tree. Depending on the diameter of the leggy branches you could try to root them as cuttings after the new buds become more defined. You could also try wiring the leggy branches and make some drastic bends. Bring the...

In regards to your telephone pole juniper, you could consider a literati style tree. With the taper of the trunk and the foliage placement you have some good options in this style. With heavy wire and a careful hand you could put some movement into the trunk and turn the top down almost 180...

With the thickness consistency of the trunk and the overall height I would consider trying something in the literati style. I would remove both lower branches and turn them into jin and create shari off the lowest branch. I would also bend the current apex down drastically (almost 180 degrees)...

Thanks for the help.

Does anyone know if a nationwide bonsai nursery directory exists?
