    Azalea browning leaf tips

    I purchased this satsuki late last year: http://bonsainut.com/forums/showthread.php?9509-Azalea-root-graft-nebari-development About 2 weeks earlier I also bought a smaller satsuki (same cultivar) from the same nursery. About a month and a half ago, the smaller tree started having some...

    Crape Myrtle project

    Thought I would start a progression thread for this tree. It's a crape myrtle (unknown variety) that I picked up at a nursery a few months ago. The first pics are from when I originally chopped it back from about 3' tall by 3' wide. The other pic is the growth it's put on so far this season...

    Triple Trunk Redwood

    I visited the Lotus nursery in Placerville for the first time today and picked this little guy up. Good people out there. Pictures were taken after cleaning off most of the moss that had covered the entire trunk and doing just a little thinning of unnecessary branches. The trunk furthest to...

    Azalea root graft/nebari development

    A couple weeks ago I picked up this azalea and at this point I've got kind of a vague idea of how I'm going to style it, but the first thing I would like to work on is the root spread. Obviously I won't be doing any of this work for a few months, just wanted to plan things out in advance. It...

    Small Cork Oak

    I visited a bonsai nursery about 45 minutes away today and found this little guy. Immediately picked it up and knew I was taking it with me. I also picked up an azalea, but I'm a little more excited about the oak. It looks like the soil originally came up a bit higher and when they repotted...

    First attempts at styling...

    So about a month and a half ago I picked up my first bonsai and have been doing quite a bit of reading since then. Recently I bought some wire and found a Japanese boxwood and rockspray cotoneaster at a local nursery. Didn't think to take any before pics... Anyway, the cotoneaster was found...
