    Tree vendors

    I guess i was a little vague in the original posting. I am looking for trunks under 2" so not to large. Is there any place that offers saplings at reasonable price

    Tree vendors

    I have dealt with three tree vendors over the past five years and have been happy with the smaller trees. Im now looking for some larger trunk trees but do not have alot of money to put out.

    Time table for re-potting trees

    Thanks all I thought I was right, just checking on the old brain. Again I am not using bonsai pots but 10" plastic bulb pans that are 5" deep. Most of the trees are not over 1" trunks. Some are 1.5" or so. Ill check them in the upcoming spring to be sure.

    Time table for re-potting trees

    I have elm, hornbeam and maples. They were all repotted this spring (2014). My memory serves me correctly these trees should not need re-potting until spring 2016? correct or no. They are all in 10" bulb pots with a Turface / stable dry mix. No roots are growing out of the bottom and no root...

    Approach Graft - Japanese Maple help

    I need to fill in two areas on a Japanese green maple. I have done some looking at sites and I was hoping someone could send me a good link to a site that explains every step. I have never done this before. My main concern is how deep you cut the tree. I understand you scrape off the bark on...

    Unknown species of Elm with yellow leaves

    Amazon sells the schultz brand so I might just order it from them. I have the prime account so I would get it before I could actually get in the truck and pick up from local nursery. I know so many people just say use whatever is on sale for fertilizer so I guess the all purpose would fall...

    I have the standard miracle grow that I mix at a 1tbs per gal as noted on the directions. I usually use it every two weeks. I bought the dynagrow to try this year.

    Unknown species of Elm with yellow leaves

    GrimmyAs always your comments are welcome. I took your advise from the other day and put some blood meal on it (nitrogen). We will see if that does the trick.

    Unknown species of Elm with yellow leaves

    Koto Ito Komachi as Bonsai?

    Thanks all. The issue is this maple is not really a lacy leaf. It looks more like noodles. Not sure how else to explain it. Ill take a photo tonight of the leaf. I got this in a package deal or I would not have normally picked it.

    Koto Ito Komachi as Bonsai?

    Has anyone used a Koto Ito Komachi for a bonsai tree? The leaves remind me of spaghetti. I never had one of these before and really could not find any bonsai tree photos. I am thinking this is a landscape tree only. Your thoughts are appreciated.
