Man I have tried for four years and finally success!!! First layer too deep it died within a week. This was a result of over anticipating how to cut through the 1" bark so i did it with a small saw. It actually cuts pretty easy with a sharp knife. Second one not deep enough, found this out after...

All of these soil threads have got me thinking and talking to others and I have come to a conclusion that I think is worthy of sharing. My conclusion is that it is more dangerous using an all inorganic mix(boon mix, gods mix, etc) than it is to use a mix with organics. First off if not properly...

I had a blast repotting some of my new trees that I acquired over the last couple of weeks. My back feels like I helped build the pyramids as the last two(ficus) were doozies. Both ficus need further cutting back on their branches but due to weather not being ideal i'm going a little less...

I looked briefly but couldnt find help on this. What are some of you doing differently to have such large photos in your posts?

I figured it couldn't hurt to post my trees that I have on ebay here as well to cross promote the auctions. http://www.ebay.com/itm/181292264304?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 http://www.ebay.com/itm/181292259764?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

Im interested to hear from you folks on which side you think would be best for my flowering pear. Side A Side B

Does anyone have experience with ficus root cuttings and whether or not they will bud?

Came across this olive on ebay, not too bad, Ive bought from the seller before no issues. Im tapped out on my bid figured better share with the Bnut community. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pre-bonsai-euro-olive-raw-stock-tree-for-carving-/300944567505

Just thought I would mention to the Bnut community that our very own "Big Dave" passed away. He will be missed by many. RIP

I purchased this pine as a Japanese Black Pine from ebay several years ago and has been in slow decline ever since I got it. I had initially repotted it into a "boon" type mix as I do with the rest of my potted JBP's. I water the same etc. But it is slowly dying so I am beginning to believe it...

Mountain style?

Is it correct to assume that removing a cork elm air-layer that has plenty of roots is best to do the same time of year as a repot?? Just as buds are swelling before they open??

Dario(poink88), Tona and Bob(BonsaiBP) brought up an interesting subject during the "Is it a personal preference?" thread. Is it always just a subjective artistic opinion given or chosen when doing bonsai or is there such an instance or time when the decision made is truly right or wrong?

Can anyone identify the purpose of the wire in this ebay tree? I was thinking maybe an electromagnet olive tree? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Small-Leaf-BONSAI-OLIVE-TREE-Olea-Europaea-OBb4-/150984292318?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item23275d77de

What do you guys consider inappropriate language for a bonsai forum? I ask because I got warned and threatened to be grounded on Bonsai Study Group for simply sticking up for a fellow poster on that forum. Here's the thread its not very tasty to read so don't bother if not interested...

I took a quick pic of my liquidambar orientalis yesterday as the colors were stunning. I added a couple of pics to my original. The first was like 2 weeks ago, 4-5 days ago(original pic), and today

Over the holiday I mentioned that I came across a very cool Mission Fig in the parking lot of a fast food place. I asked if I could dig it out and they said I could, so this last saturday I did just that. This thing is pretty beefy and I'm not sure how big the final tree will be but I couldn't...

It was brought up in another thread about whether or not Bald Cypress can develop knees in a pot. Well this one did. The story goes that it was in a chopped down 5 gallon nursery bucket and it grew into the ground, and the knees grew on the outside of the container almost swallowing the damn...

In your experience what is the ideal conditions for Boxwood as far as temperature, exposure to sun, like or dislike for wet soil, fertilizer and any other info as I don't think I provide the ideal growing environment for my boxwood as it always seems like its touch and go and it's never thriving...

In your experience what is the ideal conditions for Japanese quince as far as temperature, exposure to sun, like or dislike for wet soil, fertilizer and any other info as I don't think I provide the ideal growing environment for my quince as it always seems like its touch and go and it's never...

What am I missing? Why is this thing going for so much on eBay? Opinions please. Maybe after grafting it could be a good tree but it's not worth this much now, is it? http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=110992344285

Post a pic of your favorite tree and pot, not necessarily together. If you want advice or criticisms please say "comments welcome". Obviously compliments always welcome. I know I should lead by example however I just had the idea and its already dark out. I promise to post sometime over the holiday.

Came across this trees on ebay and left me a little bewildered. What is the opinion of y'all of the wiring and styling that is displayed on these trees for sale? I personally am not a fan...

Last night we had a study group and one of the trees was a fairly old JBP with a 2-2.5" thick very straight branch. The verdict was to either bend it or lose it. So why not risk losing it while bending it and maybe the branch survives. We didn't bend it as far as originally hoped for two...
