Try to zoom in a bit ed, definitely no leaves. Cant make out for sure if its juniper though.

I was part of a detachment with 1/9 in 08 in Iraq, AAV's

Are you or were you in 1/9?

With azaleas iv had in the past, this was normal after root trimming especially if some buds have already started to roll open. Its trying to push New growth while sapping some of the older. Thats what it sounds like to me without seeing pictures or knowing exactly how much root work was done...

Whats the size of that trunk? Also great progression so far.

This sort of thread I is why I love bonsai. No bickering, no arguing with one another just great information with good peoples input and thoughts. Thanks to lightning for putting this together. And thanks for Vance to receive this thread as what it is. A compilation of his knowledge that...

Where is it compared to your chosen front?

Please keep up updated on your decisions with the tree. Its an interesting tree with lots of character. Great work.

The best part about how this tree has grown is either semi or full cascade will look natural in nature. I would imagine creating the image in your last picture will create a drastic but pleasing view. Especially as you've mentioned opening the pads up a bit. I'm partial to half moon pots and...

Wow I'm surprised was this in your greenhouse? My crapes have yet to start to swell along all the landscape ones around these parts.

What completely worthless to society?

Iv read the thread or article (cant remember) that those pictures originated. It was showing how to create a sumo. When I layer in the ground I use a single wire and wrap it around the trunk, after about 2 years ill repot trimming the old root system leaving the new. This will stimulate the new...

I get it. I find a lot of humor in soil debates.

I wrapped a piece of wire aroung the base where I drew the red to ground layer it. Ill give it 2 years and take a look at what I got, anything will be better. The second picture is after it got potted and the third picture is before I did this repot a vert of where next year ill make the cut.

Heres a trident maple I purchased this year and figured Id post is starting. Time got the best of me and was a few days late on repotting it the leaves just rolled open, it happens. My goal with this is to create a shohin as I personally have never started a tree intentially to create a shohin...

I too end up re-reading these often its hard not to especially in the winter.

Harry Harrington's Bonsai Inspirations 1- 2nd Edition Ordered this just to have the 2nd edition, got it in the mail yesterday which was quick as well. Its a great read through as well as the progressions shown are outstanding.

I actually asked Zach Smith that question about water elms being the guru and said the pretty much just like most elms in that regard and just suggested to take the shari up slowly and not deep.

I was thinking the same thing and your right it can always be done later, thanks.

Thoughts or ideas? Iv attached 2 verts deciding on if something along these lines would work. The far left tree has a knob that will never heal over at the middle of the trunk and it would also alleviate the largest tree from sticking out being so straight. Any thoughts or ideas are appreciated.

If your substrate is completely inorganic than you should have no issues at all with this regimen.

He made a hasty decision that cost a lot of people the chance to enjoy different aspects of bonsai. Its not even his loss unfortunatly it is everyone elses.

Just to clear things up for the OP It is completely safe to use both together. It is also true that most people do not use enough fertilizer. I have organic fertilizer on all my trees durring the growing season and use a liquid inorganic once a week. Now with that being said whether damage can...

Ya know I spent awhile looking at this group and then one day it dawned on me I had to have it. :D

Judy, Thats one of the only things ill be doing to it this year, I just put a new order from jim gremel as I will be using a lot I forsee.
