It's been quite a summer. I haven't had any time to post here at BNut :(...However, I have managed to do quite a bit of work on various trees. This one sat until two weeks ago. I just let it grow... I wanted to address the long straight section in the middle so...I fixed it...maybe more later. I...

You're an artist Stacy, and a heck of a talent! When you write, you tend to stir the pot lol...doesn't bother me. I agree with you about working "crap" trees...I'd rather learn, try techniques, and make mistakes on those trees than kill a great piece of material. Keep posting your work...I, for...

Hmmm...got me thinking too...lol. Maybe I'll try to bring my tree haha! All kidding aside...thanks again Vin for all your hard work and your kind words about my tree;). Also, a hearty congrats to all who entered and again to Mr. Pall, thank you! I look forward to more of your critiques:) I...

Actually...arsenic and chromium are no longer used in pressure treated lumber. The EPA changed that over ten years ago.

Great score! "Big Bruce" just doesn't have the same punch...lol. Thanks I needed a good laugh

Looks like you're halfway there...lol. Then you'll find yourself cutting back...great looking garden!

Congrats Vin!! You did a great job with that tree...I like it!! Thanks again for all your hard work putting this together. Thanks also to Walter!!! I agree with the critique and look forward to taking this tree further down the road:cool:.

Looks good. Nice detail. I'd go for 10'...you'll no doubt end up needing more space lol. And don't worry about the color...the sun will take of that for you;)

Watering systems for bonsai are tough but doable...I've had lots of success, but it's taken many many many hours of trial and error. I'll try to post some pics of what's worked best for me. Misters are great if they are fairly close to the tree...and you'll need at least 2 per pot. Drippers...

I'd be happy to take your "ho-hum" off your hands lol...

Lovely tree! Thank you:)

Thanks for posting...very helpful!!

I just came across this thread...COOL tree Stacey!! I just picked up a logwood off bonsai auctions...was doing some research. As usual, I appreciate your "pushing the boundaries" so to speak. Being an artist myself, I think we see things a little differently (in life) and that translates to how...

"That's a nice front, but I prefer the backside":p

Fred...I don't know you, and I don't usually do this, but...the last image struck me. I played around with the base slightly...it feels stronger. What do you think? I really like this tree...alot:)

It's ok Vance... you're entitled to be a narcissist...but only on this thread lol;)

I agree with Thumbless. ..the right image has a strong, connected base

I took one look and thought...yup, that's a pretty crappy tree;). Can't wait for the new pics!

This is a Eugenia (Brush Cherry) I repotted last week. I ground layered it last year. Amazing how much growth. The roots were pushing it out of the pot! I didn't get a shot after I pruned it.

Why? Because it's what you do when you start down a new path! I've 30 more years till I'm 78. I'll make a lot more mistakes on this planet...but they are my mistakes. I'll also get a lot right...and THAT is what keeps me coming back. I love it when someone tells me..."YOU CAN'T". Really? If...

I'm considering this technique on a couple of my trees. Same question as Paradox. I did try it on a small Spruce I have and it worked brilliantly...but those notches were at the trunk. I'd like to try one on old wood further out on a straight branch (Indian Hawthorne). I really like this...

Bummer...I'm kinda liking these "contests"o_O...Just one year too much lol. Very cool Bob...I look forward to watching!!

Great pot...I like the design too! That's one happy tree;)

Not that I know of..."Wild Things Bonsai Studio" on FB. You can contact him there. Check out Bonsai Auctions on FB...sometimes he puts pots up there and a guy named Andre Flores has some...lol...I just bought another.

He has so many! I'm a big fan lol. Good luck
