Finally had a bit of free time and got some soil into the pot with the tree, something that is high moisture retention, so hopefully it comes trough and puts out some growth to shown signs of life.

well, the top 20-25% of the soil dry out in the sun, while the remainder stays very moist (i dont use the wet to describe it because there is no standing water... but it's as wet as can be without it being a puddle)

Did I kill this tree? really? I moved it into an akadama/lava rock mix in early January, and it put out a few shoots (that dried out and fell off in like a 10-15 day period) and since then it has been bare... So last night, I make a small cut in the trunk, dont see any green, and there was...

he states that he mulches it in the winter... doubt hes doing that indoors... Sounds like an outdoor tree to me.

How long was the tree in that pot as of 2007?

LOL, That might work.

I was exhausted from fighting with the roots yesterday, but that was actually done this morning. I smoke a lot of cigars, manage a cigar store, and for some reason just like that picture. I don't mean it to insult or upset anyone, so if I do, just send me a PM and I'll change it.

I'm kind of afraid to do that because it gets a lot morning/early afternoon sun, so it would be in very warm water for most of the time... Other than that, I did think about it, and am still considering it if I can get it out of direct sunlight for part of the day.

Took the tree to my parents house to clean up the roots and get it into a flat pot so that I don't have to do it when there is real structure to the tree and destroy branches, and I'm glad I did. It took me close to 2 hours with a saw (hand), my hands, cutters and the hose to clean up the...

Are they supposed to be putting out growth now? I though it would not start till some point next year... there are a few buds on the trunk, and a 2 inch growth (2 days) from one of the branches.

I went ahead and chopped the tree down a big chunk, way below where I originally intended to, but I think in the long run this will work best. I also made a small channel on top of the branch, and fit the branch that will grow as the new top in there. I'm hoping that in a few years it will...

This little tree has a lot of potential. I think that if you change the angle which it is planted and bend the branch that is now the top a bit and grow it out, it can look like quite a nice cascade... Please forgive my crap photoshop, but you get the idea...

I'm in Miami, so I'll wait till late December or January to do some root clean up and get it into some better soil, and maybe a wider pot to start getting the roots shallower hopefu Ly cutting off very little. Thanks

Yup, Im gonna have to wait till I can get over to my parents house, and takea a hose to clean of the roots and see what's down there... Can't do that on my balcony. I'm trying to see what the best time of the year it is to do that, and just prune off the really thick roots... I know it has a...

How thick is it?

I could not find one with a thicker base, so I will be growing this over a couple years to get better taper... I wish I could have found something with more of a taper to it. I think for the price I got this one for, in 3-5 years it will be quite nice.

I'm thinking this is a good way to go with it... I cleaned the bark with a brush and water as well.

Went to a nursery (non bonsai) to pick up a Bougainvillea today, and accidentally saw a couple of Bald Cypress' as we drove past them... Ended up paying $45 for it, and it was about 18-20 feet tall before we chopped it down at the nursery. I think this tree has great potential even though the...

Rinse it over grass?

Why do you have all the growth to the back of the branches? it looks really empty and unbalanced.

yungling ships beer to a lot of places... What are your goals for the trees? right now you don't have much, just a couple of stumps that will need time for growth before you can start making big plans...

Beautiful simple pot.

I guess that shows my limited knowledge as far as internet goes... Good luck getting rid of the Aholes, I see the threads every couple of mornings if I wake up early enough.

why not just ban the IP?

5 inch trunk sounds desirable... how tall is it? You would not root prune it upon taking it, you would need to put it in a pot for it to establish its self, and in a few years start work on it.
