It could be a way to move product, for the record. I got a big thing of rooting powder 10 years ago, just ran out of it last year. Still had great luck rooting dwarf varieties that never rooted without hormone, so it seemed to still work to me. The thing is, if you keep it dry and...

If you try it again, take off the dead tips, thin out the dead needles, then wire the branches, but leave all the foliage on the tips at this point. you just want light to penetrate where it couldn't before. then pot them in slightly bigger pots with good soil, lightly combing the roots to...

Just wanted to show a picture of the trident maples I cut hard to lines this winter and how much they are growing. these have 4 to 9 inch trunks and 6 to 15 inch bases! So happy to have these. Just put them up for sale at the shop and already sold 9. They arn't on the website since they are...

Any time you want something, let me know. Email or call. website and number is on my profile.

Second one is Ficus microcarpa or Ficus "retusa", depending on which publication you read from which year. F. microcarpa is the current and most used now. Leaves will get a bit smaller with correct bonsai care and conditions.

First one is a procumbens "nana"

Ficus Microcarpa "golden gate"

Here is new one. My new favorite

Sorry, here is the photo put correct for viewing..... silly programs...

I finally to give this little guy his first wiring. Here are some before and after photos He is one of 40 GI ficus in need of the first wiring. These are my favorite ficus. I love how small the leaves get with wiring and trimming.

I like neem, I use it on almost all of my trees. But There are a few that tend to not like oils and elm is one. I always spray at the end of the day so the sun isn't hitting foliage intensely. Then I give it a pressured spray in the morning . With Dawn as a surfectant, it reliquifies and helps...

Doing it yourself saves money, no doubt. If you decide to go the " buy it already mixed" route, there are a lot of quality sources on the internet. We have some on sale at the shop and on the website. Its an inorganic mix, but you may decide to add organics to it. Our sale ends this month...

Just wanted to show what the trident looked like after its second trim for season. Thing is growing like crazy and the season has just gotten started! Cant wait.

that's a good idea. My first Sensei just had 6 of his trees stolen by the landscapers. He is in a HOA that is VERY strict on who gets in. Unfortunately, there are still those with no morals.

Actually, this was in a different post. how did it get here?

Thanks October

Just wanted to let you guys know we are running a sale on bonsai soil till the end of the month. THis is 100% inorgainc, but you can add organics for your climate as you see fit. We use this mix in central florida. Here are the links...

YEah, they were actually brought up front for that same reason. THe left branches were actually coming to the back. I just need to grow them out more to bring them up. Thanks for the critique

I have had this Chinese Elm since Hurricane Francis and Charlie back in 04'. It was a landscape 15 foot tall tree with a solid six inch trunk, and good base and zero taper or movement. I let it grow a few years untouched to see where it would sprout and develop branching and thickness. Then, 5...

get twenty of them, grow them all home outside during the summer or under grow lights. and rotate out one tree you have at your office once a week with one of the other 19 you are growing in optimal conditions.

Do it! Get rid of them

I wish we could grow these here in central Florida.

Elm with a new frame Here is a pic of my Elm with its new pot.

Yes, they are all pretty big, but they are all a bit different. Not all this type of broom for sure. Ill post pics as I give them their wiring for the season.

I collected this 9 years ago as a 12 foot tall tree that was blown over in a hurricane ( 2004), along with 19 others. It was promptly cut to a stump and put in a training pot, This was its Chinese training pot 5 years ago. Center is completely rotted out, drilled for drainage and wood hardener...
