Wanted to share my Hinoki. I only had this Hinoki for 1 year (purchased from home depot) and it's starting to get a nice silhouette. October gave me advice in the beginning. The top portion is still bushy and I have to figure out how to define the foliage pads, but the bottom section is looking...

I air layered a maple early spring (over 8 weeks ago) and the bag is starting to fill with roots. Some are busting through the bag now so I'm not sure that if I wait too long it could be damaging to the air layer. Can air layers be removed in the summer and potted? I probably have a few more...

Hi. This is my second summer of bonsai. This hobby really becomes an obsession, but anyway I found this boxwood at homedepot. I actually didn't buy it the first day I saw it. A few weeks later it was still there so I thought let me get it because the trunk seemed pretty good as some boxwoods...
