Then again, older photos (before I got the tree) of the flower do show flower color variations similar to hatsu kansetsu. I'm not letting the tree flower this year, but time will tell. Thanks again for the responses.

Thanks for the photos and ID. It seems like the color variation are quite different and miyama mangetsu has a much more distinctive/sharp line between the colors. I prefer the color subtleties and prefer the hatsu kansetsu.

There were 2 larches that fit the criteria, both attached.

With the warming weather, we're probably all anxious to take our trees outside, even the less hardy ones. My trees (mostly/recently repotted) are all out in a portable greenhouse as the night lows are predicted to be above freezing. Unfortunately one night, it dipped to 26F (local...

There were quite a few Larches, most of which came from North of the border. Do you have a basic description of it?

I'm with you on the Pitch Pine, let's go hiking ;)

Nail + Rust = Iron

I'm already very happy with the app! I want to see it even better :D I would link photos from logs to bonsai as I add logs regularly and the bonsai entry remain mostly unchanged. Since each log is link to a bonsai, possibly consider just an option to "Show in Photos" for each log photo...

Thanks for the explanation on how to add more than 2 photos per log entry. It's an extra step, but seems to work fine. Per the photo library request, I don't mean iOS photo library, but each individual Bonsai Info photos within the app. Not sure if it makes sense, but what I'm hoping to...

Andrew. Is it possible or can you make it possible to link photos in the logs to the main entry photo library? I want to avoid adding duplicate photos. Also, can you include an (+) option to add more than 2 photos per log entry? Thanks! Very helpful app, btw. Thanks

Stacy, it was great meeting you and I'm really glad you took an original approach to the styling and design of the tree. Hope you had fun and had a smooth trip back. We're getting hit with frost on the nights following the event. Chau

Thank you everyone for your help and advice. It took almost 3 months, but here they are, fresh from South Africa:

Thank you everyone for your wonderful insight. Rob, I totally agree with you. I purchased this tree as a learning experience and it will prove to be just that. Selling it off would push the problem to another unexpected victim and I'm not comfortable with that. I'm moving back to your area...

I bow to thee!

Saw, are you offering to get a copy of the book for me? Pretty please? I'll treat you to the best of Saratoga Springs when you're up here :cool:

Rob! I wanted a second opinion, but not many have experience with this situation. I'm tempted to keep the tree and see what happens; I'm sure the information will be helpful for future azalea enthusiasts :cool:

I'm still looking for the book and contacting the author proved unsuccessful (lost in shipment. . .). If anyone has a lead on a copy, please let me know, thanks!

It's a little scary that I can't even find a single image of a finished Satsuki azalea styled with deadwood. . .:confused:

The venue is 2 doors down from where I work so it'll be hard to miss this event. Looking forward to see your infamous tree there, Saw, and you'll have some competition for the new talent challenge (not me though, not yet :p). Good luck!

I recently acquired a beautiful imported Satsuki azalea styled similar to the attached image with the first and only brand forming the entire foliage mass and the trunk line above the branch is mostly dead for future carving. The tree is vigorous and healthy. In a recent workshop with American...

Sly. My bet is on the recent heatwave (90F+) and super summer sun from the past few weeks. I noticed slight wilting on my Amur and Japanese as well and I keep mine under 50% shade cloth with daily misting and watering. There's a direct correlation between sun and heat and when both are at...

Hi all, There is a second edition, but that too is out of print. I have contacted the author directly and he mentioned that a reprint is in order, but others have told me that he also said the same thing many years ago. It seems to be a great book, but difficult to find at the moment.

Anyone have a copy of Bonsai Styles of the World by Charles S. Ceronio that you're willing to depart or know where I can get a copy? Please let me know. Many thanks!

Hi everyone. My first post. I purchased a Satsuki Azalea last winter under the variety "hatsu kansetsu" meaning "first snow on the mountain top." It's supposedly an old and cold-tolerant mountain variety. Since I can't seen to find any info on the said variety and seeing the tree in bloom...
