This is a first time silhouette show for the Cleveland bonsai club. This is in addition to our June show. I don’t think there will be vendors. Come on out if you can. It would be nice to meet some other Bnuts.

PLEASE READ FIRST! Well spring is not far away and this is the overflow of pots. This year I'm including a close up of the glaze on the pot. The close-up is intended to give you an idea of the texture and variegation of color. If you have questions or want more detailed photos about a...

Here’s a photo of the new dyna-grow label. Seems like superthrive has merged with my favorite fertilizer. Not being a fan of superthrive I’m left wondering what to think.

I now have two J. Quince in a pot. The first one is about six years, the second was just collected from my garden. They are very rhizomatous and sucker profusely. I don’t mind the look… thinking of chojubai. The tree was covered with flower buds each spring however very few ever blossomed and...

PLEASE READ FIRST! Well spring is not far away and this is the overflow of pots. This year I'm including a close up of the glaze on the pot. The close-up is intended to give you an idea of the texture and variegation of color BUT USE THE OVERALL PHOTO FOR TRUE COLOR (as true as you get on...

I saw a very small Erodium (mame) at a show last year and just had to give this a try. The starter plant was in a 1 x 1 x 3” plastic pot. The roots went to the bottom and long enough for a good start wrapping them around the rock. Aluminum wire was used to hold it in place, buried in the clay...

I saw this creeping up one of my dead ash trees and couldn't resist. I simply went around the trunk with a sawsall, put it in the pot and dared it to live. I saw one at the national that was quite nice and you can't beat the fall color.

Here we go again!😱😱 This time I’m using the concrete method I saw NaoTK use. I know the method works but I’m not quite sure about this Hamamelis intermedia jelena. It has a stupid nebari so I have nothing to lose. This is about building a bonsai from scratch. New nebari, branch placement ala...

Spring is coming soooooon! So my 2022 pot making season is pretty much over. Thought I would start listing the pots for sale. Some have already been sold but I'm listing them anyway if someone may want similar for next year. I will just post a few at a time so I can refresh the thread. If...

So I'm a little bored with pottery right now so I decided to carve a daiza for a friend in my study group. I liked the challenge of this stone because the lip needs to move up and down to accommodate the equator of the stone. I'm not really a stone collector but I have few. Anyway thought I...

Thought I’d start this thread for us to post naked trees and enjoy.

I guess this is a good time to start this thread.

I'm trying to get rid of trees and can't believe I got this. I'm not one for getting developed trees, let alone paying for them. Most of my trees I've collected or people give them to me. However, when I seen it, I knew I had to have it. This pot I have is just crying out for something and I...

I'm going to start posting pots for spring. Some are sold, some are for sale and some are for me. If your interested in any PM with a pic and I can give you details. This is pot with alternating flared to not flared side as a visual experiment. The glaze is a karatsu (wood ash) including wild...

Some of you know me for new designs in pottery. This is my latest submission for your enjoyment. Titled “Broken pot - Wrinkled tape “!! I’m now taking commissions for similar pots! Please post your trees for consideration. If you need to ask how much $$you can’t afford it.

This was taken (2015) from the trash of women that had them growing in the yard and this was a weedy volunteer. I would have put it in the ground but they won't survive the winter just a few miles from shores of Lake Erie. I had kinda forgotten about it and just noticed its shaggy growth the...

I have posted this plant in a number of other threads but thought it would be good to start its own thread for those interested in the development of the species. This was rescued from a perennial garden that I was redoing. As I was ripping it out I noticed it had quite an interesting trunk and...

This is a method I just stumbled onto for cleaning pots quickly without damaging the surface. The foot of this pot was caked as you can see. The tool is a 3M Scotch-Brite radial bristle disc with a Foredom flex-shaft that I got from Foredom...

This is another tree I've posted in other threads but thought I would create it's own. If someone else actually has one maybe we could compare notes. I got this 5 growing seasons ago as a cutting with a caliper no bigger than my index finger. The base is now over four inches and grown entirely...

This is the story of a tree that I created a mislabeled thread for back in 2016. There, it was referred to as Yashino Cherry, misidentified and misspelled. :eek: :eek: :eek: So for search purposes and some brevity, I'm re-posting. This cherry fell victim to two nasty winters in a row...2014 &...

This tree has appeared in some other threads but I thought it deserving of it own. This was the first tree I ever collected (1987-1988) and it was out of my own woods. It was stumped a few inches above the ground line and then let grow for a season to recover as well as it could. The following...

Has anyone else ever tried doing lavender? I pulled this from my garden in 2018. So far it’s flowers get pretty leggy. This is just after cutting it back.

This is a Korean hornbeam I got from a pal in our study group for $100. He was tired of foolin' with it. The base is about 8" wide with 5 trunks (1 can't be seen in photo) and many large scars. The scars were all covered with cut paste for many years and was quite ugly. Formerly it was potted...

This was given to me in 2014 at deaths door. I'm not sure of what flavor it is., ie variety. Didn't really want it but I didn't have one and I heard good stories about them. Put it in good soil and let it grow. Did some small cut backs so as it would fit under my lowest shelf. The ground layer...
