I have a 18 yr. maple. I repotted this year in spring into a good size nursery pot. It budded out fairly nice, but the new leaves stay only a few days before turning brown and die. It is in partial shade and temps are in low 80's. Could this be too much water?

I have a trident that last year gave me great fall color. This year it did not, just light orange and browns. What may have caused this change in color?

Any styling advice is welcome..

Whats your opinions? what direction should I go?

I am a greenhorn yes, but what the hell is this Sumo stuff. Just looks like a cop-out to me. Looks much better to have a tree at least 18" tall. Sumo looks like shit I keep mowing over every Saturday.

Well its that time of year again. Every year for my birthday I buy myself a tree. Last year was the first year I tried out the Growing Grounds.. I am going to go there from now on, there is no other place you can get the quality and substance. I love the idea of buying a squat pot, then making...

some green in buds for 5 day, then nothing!!!

I have several Trident maples. One has not budded out yet and the other 2 have started. All were kept the same way over winter months. I scratched the bark and its green underneath. Is this a concern?

I had a hard time with my elm last summer. Almost all my small branches dropped their leaves and died. I now have new shoots popping out in some places. I was never really happy with the primary branches anyways. Just wanted to know if I could cut the main branches back to the trunk and...

What is the best method of preparing your trees for the spring? What can be done to get a head start on the pests and fungus that may attack during spring?

I keep my trees in a shed during the winter to protect from frost and wind. I have been reading that Tridents keep lots of moisture in their roots during winter, and to not let the roots freeze. I have also seen where it talks about keeping the soil moist but not wet to avoid this. If it...

What type of dimensions do you look for when potting a bonsai. Are there rules as far as depth of pot egual to height of tree and things of that nature?

Anyone know of any good ones?

What does everyone think about this subject, Would it make better sense to just stick to one type of tree and get good at it? Taking on many varieties seems to be overwhelming to a new guy.

I have noticed there are very few pines I see that actually look like old mature trees. 90% of what I see to me look like the start of a Christmas tree farm. Even when guys claim how the trees are like 40 years old, they just don't look believable to me. Deciduous trees look much more like...

I was just wondering how others see this. In other types of art such as painting, and sketching there is only so much technique can do for an artist. At some point there is a natural nack for the art and ability. I am not a great artist nor a bad one. From what I see on the board a lot of...
