My first bonsai is a juniper nana that was given to my husband last fathers day. He didn't want the tree so I took it over. I still have it and it's doing OK. It has since been joined by 4 other juni nanas.

I bought 3 new juniper nanas from Walmart for $12. Not planning on doing anything except clean out dead stuff. I figured for the price that I would have something to practice on. :p I do have a question about dormancy though. I live in zone 8b. Our nights are chilly (38°-50°) so far, but our...

pot drains I did manage to find 2small holes in the bottom of the pot.:o. But when I watered it nothing came thru, and I used a quarter gallon of water. So could I slip pot it so I can look at the roots? Thanks for your reply.

I just bought a Greenmound juniper at the local Lowes store. It came in a 2.5 gallon pot. I cut down the pot so that I could see the inside of the tree. It seems to have a decent trunk, but is so overgrown that I can't see the roots. The soil looks pretty crappy and it was bone dry. I watered it...

I have a mallsai juniper procumbens nana that has a branch that was chopped when I got it. The question is if I recut the end will the branch continue to grow or is it a dead end now? If I could get it growing the tree may make a semi cascade later on. If it won't grow then I won't cut it and...

I agree that you may have to kill the family member because those trees look awesome.

I have fig trees growing in my yard. Are they good for bonsai? When would be a good time to collect them and how easy are they to care for? Any advice is appreciated.

I have a juniper procumbens that I got in June from Home Depot. I have a question about where to put it. It has been outside since I got it since I've read they're outdoor trees. It gets 4-5 hours of morning sun from a east facing deck then indirect sun for the rest of the day. Should I put it...

Hi. Since you live close to my area (Kerrville) I thought you might answer a question for me. I have a juniper procumbens and have read/heard different opinions on time in the sun. In Texas's climate is the small tree supposed to be in full sun all day or can it have 4-5 hours of morning sun and...

Thank you very much for the tip. I appreciate it.

For some reason I had no avatar and couldn't post. I reset my email and now the avatar is back and can post again. ???. Don't know what happened. Can anyone tell me how to upload pictures? I can't seem to do it.

The avatar that I'm using is the tree. I've tried several different ways to upload pictures of the tree, but haven't found a way to yet. If someone could tell me how I'll be glad to post more.

Hi, all. I'm new to bonsai but am interested in learning. I was given a juniper procumbens nana from home depot recently. When I got it most of the soil was in the box, not the pot. I put as much back as possible then used orchid soil mixed with small pebbles. I've been watering it according to...
