I really enjoyed grafting my boxwood so I did lots. Most of them took and are growing now...except the ones with really nice plump buds when I collected them. They took but not growing because the buds turned out to be FLOWERS! :mad: My boxwood managed to fool me and most likely have to...

I bought this buttonwood around April, 2012 After 4 months, I decided to carve it. 2 years later (today) :)

From the tree on this thread... http://bonsainut.com/forums/showthread.php?14812-A-big-boxwood-%28progression%29 I separated this part on 09/25/2013. It sure looks like trash but I decided to save it. It looks like this now (a bit over 10 months later). Still a long way to go but it...

As posted by Ryan Neil at facebook for those who doesn't have an account. I cannot think of a better person to continue the legacy. :) "Just received the recent issue of the American Bonsai Society Journal, a commemorative tribute to John Naka. Where would American bonsai be without such an...

Is it possible or recommended to graft Korean Hornbeam (KH) to American Hornbeam (AH)? I like KH and was sold an AH with huge leaves. I want to change all its foliage if possible. Should I or leave it be? Thoughts (pro or con) welcome. Thank you.

I pruned my trident's tip today and before throwing, I decided to snap a pic and post it here. I think the full sun exposure gave this tree some color since spring. The green color is really light but the bottom leaves are dark green. :)

Supposedly collected in 2011 and getting ready to be worked on....can't wait how he will style this. :)

All other sites work fine for me but lots of time I get really slow connection here at B-Nut and lots of database error. Anybody else having these problems?

Looking for an affordable Chinese Quince...could be a rooted thick cutting (stump). Please let me know if you have one you can spare. Post here or PM details. Thanks!

...MOSQUITOES that is. I literally have to bath in DEET to enjoy my plants now and it just makes me sick! :mad: Mosquitoes are just about capable to lift me off to be consumed elsewhere. :eek: GRRRR (yes I am exaggerating) I am fighting back by setting multiple stagnant water with BT...

Inspired by Sawgrass' (Stacey) thread... http://bonsainut.com/forums/showthread.php?15850-quot-V-quot-Notching-Made-Easy I am starting an "anchoring" thread. Many times I encountered problems with anchoring in my bending and would like to share some insights so some may avoid committing...

Seems like in nursery trade, you call a grafted tree by what is on top or what is grafted on. Is same practice universally accepted in bonsai? If I have a Hollywood Juniper and I graft it with Shimpaku and eliminate all the original foliage...is it now a Shimpaku? (or can I call it that at...

Seems like I am transitioning. I used to love, eager even to share and post picture updates of my trees progress. Recently, I am content enjoying them just by myself. I am sure I will post update pics eventually but I just noticed the big change (pic post slow down) recently. To think...

I have 7 trident maples...3 from whips/seedlings and 4 that are about 2"-2.5" trunks. Most of them are under shade (2 are under full shade and 4 get direct sun in the morning only). One of the seedling is under a shelf and have roots that escaped to the ground. I let it grow this year and is...

Looks like a good branded Kiku set for $89.95. I'll be all over this if I do not have more than 2 dozen cutters already. :D http://www.ebay.com/itm/271521982417?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

With all the talk about apprenticeship...I wonder about the cost. Let's say you got accepted to do a full 5 year apprenticeship in Japan...does anyone know the ball park figure on how much it costs per month (or per year)? Even rumor would be okay (as long as qualified as such). :D In...

Never mind...gone.

I bought 2 Kiku tools from Pilacik bonsai on eBay ...very excited too because one will be my first (yeah FIRST) 12" knob cutter. Both came today and I am super disappointed. The 12" have no marks and dull as a shovel. The 9" is marked China and also dull. None have any signs on them of...

I've watched lots of his videos and admired his work but this is the first time I came about this interview. It is a good read and as highly I think of him before...more so now after reading this. :) http://www.kaizenbonsai.com/blog/articles/an-interview-with-graham-potter/ "...I am...

This is supposedly a Korean Hornbeam but I am starting to doubt it...can anyone help ID this? Thank you.

About 3 months ago, a very generous fellow B-Nutter sent me this piece from California. :cool: I did not measure it but based on the pic (and the folding chair), I am estimating it to be around 16" tall. It came wrapped in plastic with moist Dry Stall. I amended it w/ Turface, DE...

Anyone used Sandpaper tree (Ehretia Anacua) for bonsai? I can't seem to find any bonsai pics of it through Google. http://texastreeid.tamu.edu/content/TreeDetails/?id=35 https://www.flickr.com/photos/centavo/7322250554/in/photostream/...
