The last few days when I go to new posts list and then click on one of the threads it opens up the thread and just sort of hangs. I can use the back arrow to get out but I can not scroll down or up on the list even using the side scroll bar does not work. The only thing that gets me out of there...

I can not post a picture anymore. I used to click on the Image icon and I would copy the URL freom the share tab on Flickr and paste it into the pop up place for URL. Now that does not work ! I tried to post the BBC code and trhe HTML code too and neither works. Is it no longer compatible with...

I guess as it has little berries this would appropriate in the fruiting section? Any how this is a Yaupon Holly trained to expose the roots up Neagari style. These are slow growing buggers, this has been in the pot for over a year. At least it got some nice berries before the birds got...

I thought I would share this, its an economical ready to just plug in and use setup that would have to simplify starting seeds or cuttings. I thought the price was a bargain too as I have seen heat mats alone for more than this...

Man I am distraught ! I love nature, I grew up in awe of trees and water and wildlife. I love growing vegetables and gardening and when I first seen Bonsai, miniature trees I could carry around I fell in love with this artform as a child. Admittedly I am not the artist that many of you here in...

How about updating the Bonsai Links section ? The latest U.S links were added back in 2011, get with the times you old fart. :p They probably would like the traffic as well ... ed

Its 2:15 am here in central Ohio and here I am reading through threads in a bad mood because I got home too late to paint my new bench/heated grow box. I can not seem to get things in perspective, when I do things I like to finish them. Its like a gaping wound that keeps hurting until I get it...

Naw its not the name of my new ship. I am actually getting ready to buy some Bonsai specific tools, shears, concave cutters and a wire cutter and maybe a wire/jin pliers. Somebody help Rob, Al and the others off the floor. Maybe some smelling salts are in order! :p Does anyone have...

May you all be blessed with good health and be in the company of family and good friends on this the day of Christ's resurrection. John 15:13: Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. ed

This Chinese Elm I posted in the thread here at http://bonsainut.com/forums/showthread.php?11176-Found-this-Elm-at-NDGC got an unepected makeover at the prompting of that old Mother Effer, Mother Nature. :mad: A week ago before leaving Florida I seen the leaves looked a bit dull, thought it was...

I was posting in another thread about spring repotting about the effects of soil freezing on fine tree roots and I was ridiculed, insulted and generally treated rudely. This was not my idea, or my feelings as I pointed out there is tons of info and scientific studies which are proof of my point...

With spring coming many of us are excited, especially the ones up north who had such a hard winter. I know that some of you will be so excited you will wet your plants ! :p Post some pics of what excites you about your plants this spring, new growth, flowers, projects started etc., heck even...

I had this sent to me from George Muranaka. Its a Chinese Quince, its almost 11 inches to the top of the highest leaf. Its 1 and 5/8" inch across at the base. A nice little specimen of a pre-bonsai at a fair price! quinceback by edsnapshot, on Flickr Another view. Newquince by...

This is a Florida Juniper I saved from a jobsite, the owner pulled it out with a tractor. I chopped it below the surface, there was 3 feet more trunk below, covered in roots. He moved it there several years ago. He said he stuck it in a hole. Chopped back in 1/13/14. BaseChop by...

This is a video by Rick Kossoudji from North Dayton Garden Center in Dayton Ohio. http://northdaytongarden.com/video-bonsai.html You may notice that Rick is stuck on one style of Bonsai, what I call a "pom-pom" style, like a topiary with nice branches with balls of foliage at the ends. His...

I had mentioned that I was starting some Apples. These are an Ein Shemer, zone 9, and Florida Gala, zone 8, which should work for my Ohio summers and Florida winters. I got the Gala First and chopped it, a week later I bought and chopped the Ein Shemer which responded first and stronger. I...

I decided to break up my Catlin Elm forest a few weeks ago. They were just getting too hard to get to individually for trimming and when I wanted to wire them. The main one at the back had a lot of big branches and following the trunk line it looked like it would make a nice Literati, and I do...

Simply put, Reading glasses are the bane of my existence. Since I turned 50 I can't see anything clearly within arms reach and although this is not really an earth shattering event it is very problematic. If I go to a restaurant and forget my glasses I have to have someone read the menu to me...

This Christmas season I would love to give all the standard good wishes, peace on earth, goodwill to men etc. But this although a noble sentiment is not really something one could do. Therefore I would like to offer some gift giving advice that could be accomplished by the members of the Bonsai...

Too be honest, if I were looking to buy a new phone I would look at the normal places like a store or online at a site that sold phones. I see a lot of sites that get bombarded with jerks who place ads for phones. I would never buy from these places even at a great buy, who wants to encourage a...

Are they really worth it? Short list. President Obama a total tool and extremely expensive. Vice President Biden complete tool very expensive. U.S. Congress a shamelessly expensive collections of real tools. tool noun •an "un-cool" person; "loser". ed

This is the only ficus to survive last years unexpected freeze. I cut it down to about an inch and a half higher than it is now a few days before the freeze. All the leaves died and fell off, it came back healthy and grew a dozen new branches which budded and leafed out. This spring in the warm...

If you do, could you send me some pictures of them stuffed up your ass ? ed

Since general Discussion seems to be the place to air these things, does it bother anyone else when someone misuses the word loose. For Bonsai I only come to B-Nut but I do frequent many other sites such as religious forums, Linux forums, political forums etc. and I notice many people, young and...
