I am looking for styling advice on my recently chopped mulberry (20oz soda bottle for scale). I'm thinking tree house.

The answer to 50% of all dog problems is exercise, 25% socialization, 24.99% establishment of an authoritative figure, and 0.01% euthanasia. Much like marital problems, but substitute exercise for sex and bump euthanasia up to 0.05%. Edit... I realize this post is in no way helpful. My apologies.

You should take a panoramic photograph of the whole yard. I'll bet it would be an awesome pic

What percentage of your trees are "urban yamadori?"

Try chocolate

The thread "Effects of root freeze on trees...etc, " while sure to divulge into name calling, got me thinking about my overwintering. Last winter I just set my modest collection of "Bad News Bears" plants on the ground against my house and all but one survived (though I'm sure the ridiculous...

Thank you for asking. it is different for different species. For maples, its love. For junipers, childrens laughter. For tropicals, the threat of physical violence. For pines, turface.

I am so bummed noone asked me what the final 1% is.

You guys are all stupid! Goons mix is the only way to go. 30% pine bark, 30% table salt, and 39% crushed up flintstone vitamins

I bought, hacked up, and probably killed a Lowes dwarf Rhododendron a week ago. I removed approximately 3/4 of the foliage and 1/3 of the root mass. Today the flower buds are continuing to swell. My question is whether I should now remove the flower buds. Will removing them increase the...

I got about three gallons of 1\8 to 1\4 lava rock out of a bag. I also will never be doing this again.

I am more impressed with the lawn. It looks like astroturf.

while a gentle reminder is definately in order to protect anyones feelings, I think that innocent usage of these slangs in ignorance is a good sign that we as a people are forgetting any negative feelings.

wood also expands and contracts quite a bit with the temperature. Storing in a space without climate control could separate joints. Exposure to moisture could also be the culprit.

Did you do anything to the exposed wood you brought together, or anything to seal off the area once they were joined?

I was wondering what methods were used to create taper in a formal upright tree. The only method I have found is by "jinning" the top. Trunk chops would seem to create a bit of movement which is not ideal. Any suggestions?

Let me preface this with, I have absolutely no idea what I am talking about. That being said, I very much like this tree. I think that the gentle curve that starts at the base and follows to the right most tip defines the tree. I feel that a lot of the semi cascade trees seem to portrait very...

Yeah, it sucked. But glad to know it was not in vain

I was having trouble finding small lava rock to use as a soil ingredient so I bought a bag of Vigoro red lava rock from home depot and broke it up with a hammer and a couple of screens. Now I am second guessing myself and wondering if this stuff is actually pure lava rock or not. Does anyone...

The results of your experiment may be a bit more satisfying if you use less variables and more control. That being said it is interesting

I collected another amur honeysuckle today and thought I would share some pictures. Not really sure what to do with it, but have a year to decide and would be open to any suggestions.

This is amur honeysuckle. I do not plan on keeping this inside, I only brought it in to keep it from freezing. I bagged it to contain some of the moisture, thinking indoors would be too dry, and because I have seen somewhere, someone do this to a weakened tree. But, I really have no idea what...

I recently tried my hand at collecting and have a question. Everything I read suggests you should keep recently collected material in indirect sunlight and protect from frost. As the temperatures here dropped below freezing I moved my yamadori inside. It is bagged and sitting in a south...

Awesome, thank you both very much for the help.

Is there any reason the ring cut around a branch for an air layer has to be perpendicular to the branch? Every example I have seen shows it this way.
