That first one looks awesome, it seems to have a steady taper on the trunk line which is always more desireable than a hard chop and rework over years, i dont see many chopped trees that rival what id imagine is seed grown or started from thinn stock

Dormant! I have root pruned just about all of these and repotted them to give them more room for next year if any are not sold. I noticed about 80 percent of all the trees have really good root flare for what could be great nabari in the future. anyways if anyone is interested this would be a...

what is the seedling cutting technique? i have some 1st year scots pines, and am going to collect more seed this weekend for next years bunch. just interested in any early training techniques for any tree seedlings really.

i will continually change my original post and photos to show the numbers and types of trees i have available as well as state when i have changed it. with that being said i have just updated the original post this month and it will most likely just change once a year to show the newly...

Update 2013 i have updated the quantities and species of trees ill have for sale this year. also i have uploaded some pictures, will add more of a standard size and shape of each maybe. or if anyone is interested in getting better close ups or anything i finally figured out how to deal with...

so i like to start seeds every year in hopes of eventually starting a landscape and bonsai tree nursery. i was wondering if anyone had any tips or techniques to get these maples started in training as early as possible. so far i just clip the top to try and keep them from getting so lengthy...

Ill have pictures later, but i have first year seedlings of japanese maples various varities, scots pine about 6 inches tall, and 1st and 2nd year bald cypress if anyone is interested let me know and ill get some pictures and figure out how much i will sell for and what shipping might cost.

one thing to do when you spray with an insecticidal soap is to wash it off before it dries. the soapy water suffocates certain types of pests (aphids, mealy bugs, spider mites...) and has finished its job after a few minutes. after about 5 minutes i thoroughly spray with water to clean the...

i agree with sawgrass. the size of your plant is dwarfed by the rest of the picture. the green color at best should be matched by the ground material. the differences there just make two heavy visual spots (blue and green). so your eyes are drawn there first. then finally to the stand and...

well if it is a dormant seed that needs stratification, you need to do that. it wakes the seed from dormancy. scarifying a dormant seed is kind of pointless. seems 1 month warm and moist followed by 2 months cold treatment are best according to usda database...

I have root pruned about 3/4 of the bald cypress i have left about 2 weeks ago and leafing out well after that, but slowly due to very cold weather. if anyone is interested please let me know and i can get some ready for shipping. the ones left are 4 to 5 dollars a piece i think i have about 30.

I started about 200 bald cypress last year, and am pretty confident in the techniques to begin their lives as a bonsai. This year i have about 50,000 self collected seeds of various types that will be planted out for a few years. 1,600 japanese maples of 15 varieties untold number of Dawn...

lol, i did do some initial trunk movement, most look good, one came out a little too much of a complex bend, much too quickly. i probably wont do anything with that, or i will try and straighten it out as its way too unnatural looking. you can actually see it in the first picture 2nd from left...

I am trying to start bonsai from seed and was wondering if anyone knew where good information on the actual culture of bonsai from seed might be. I am interested in all types, but a few styles have me stumped. Twin trunk, i dont know the technique for starting these from seed. maybe grow...

I have a very large Bald cypress about 12 or 15 feet tall, with about a 6 inch trunk that i was planning on turing into not exactly a classic bonsai type, but i would like to have it in a very shallow pot like yours, will it survive if i cut the large feeder roots off like you had with yours...

bumpin this up as they have all survived, still available. about to bud out in about 6 or 7 weeks. if none sell, i will continue onto doing some initial training. keeping some to an upright and informal upright, try to get some twin trunks going, and literati.

you are supposed to collect when the wing is just starting to dry out on the tree. i cut the wings off, and right now am debating on what to do, most likely i will freeze half in the freezer in a brown paper bag, the other half i will put in a brown paper bag in the refridgerator. im too...

yeah, i was thinking about putting them outside, but im more comfortable with refridgerator stratification. i also have to build the germination trays, which is about 100 square feet total. plus if any germinate over winter, they will die most likely. my main goal is to stratify while...

So i have read various articles and online forums stating that Acer palmatum take up to five years to germinate if you start with dry seeds. I have heard of high germination rates with fresh stratified seeds. I have collected about 400 seeds of about 15 varieties of japanese maples, in the...

i very highly doubt that tree is even over twenty years old. and if it were anywhere near the age you were told by a la herb gustafson, i am deeply saddened you would remove such an old tree in hopes of turning it into a bonsai. im sure im not the only one that would like to see this tree...
