Does anyone know what tool maker used this mark on their bonsai tools? A club member used to sell them way back when, but he passed a couple of years ago and the only people I know who had this particular type of shears cannot remember the name of the company. The logo looks like the crab logo...

I bought this bougie off the 50% off rack at Lowe's on September 18 and didn't get around to posting it because I'm plagued by the procrastination bug. If this disqualifies me from the $1,000,000 cash prize, I can live with that, but I thought I'd play along regardless. I bought the one on the...

I wanted to share this boxwood with you all, for three reasons. First, because it's one of only a couple of trees that I didn't kill during my first attempt to learn how to grow bonsai trees in the 80s and 90s. Second, because it's a good example of what radical work can do in a few years...

The Fullerton Arboretum at Cal. St. Fullerton is hosting Green Scene this weekend, and with that, they are going to debut their three month bonsai exhibit. It will be open on weekends only, co-hosted by four local clubs: Kofu Bonsai Kai, Orange County Bonsai Society, Orange Empire Bonsai Society...

Vance has goaded me into posting some juniper photos to quell any suspicions that I have lied about actually owning some bonsai trees. I figured, if I'm going to do that, why not start by seeing what the braintrust thinks I should do with this unruly mess I have sitting on my hill. This is a...

Is anyone here in the Inland Empire Bonsai Society that meets in Riverside, California? I thought about checking that club out last weekend, but I can't find anything recent that confirms when and where (or even if) they meet. There are a couple of places where I saw club information saying they...
