    Soliciting Help with Collected CA Juniper

    Si, thanks for the recommendations and the drawings. I will consider them and will let you know what comes up. FWIW, if I choose 4 o'clock as the front, the live root will be placed directly at the front. One of my ideas, which is kind of similar to what you suggested, is to lean the tree to...

    Soliciting Help with Collected CA Juniper

    Thanks for everyone's reply. I will study your responses more and also stare at the tree until something reveals itself I've thought of bunjin style myself, but as you can see, the upper half portion of the tree is rather straight, and wasn't sure it would make a convincing bunjin, but I have...

    Soliciting Help with Collected CA Juniper

    Greetings, This is a well established collected CA juniper so I though I'd perform an initial styling followed by a repot next spring. However, after looking at the tree off and on for a couple of days, I draw a blank. The issue here is there's not a ton of foliage close to the trunk to pull...

    WTB: Satsuki Azalea

    Time Management Good discussion, everyone, thanks . As I attended one of the meetings at our local bonsai club a while back, the topic we discussed was time management. You know, I've heard it from all other angles before, but it hit home that night: We all are given 24 hours a day, not a...

    WTB: Satsuki Azalea

    A while ago, I have decided that I will acquire less number of trees, but those that I do acquire are of better qualities and or potential. I have found since then is I spend less time watering/fertilizing and taking care a bunch of trees and more time enjoying the ones that I have in my...
