    Tree ID

    There are millions of these things in the south Georgia/ north Florida/southeastern Alabama region. I see them mainly in fence lines around fields as well as the outer edges of woods. While I do not have one(never found one good enough to dig), I saw one in a bonsai pot over at Rayford prison...

    Wiring in relation to back budding

    Come on dude, no one is trying to be mystical here. That term is nothing more than a very simplified way to talk about backbudding. I would hardly call that ignorant. You call it what you like. And yes, you probably should let it go. I just don't see the point in trying to flame someone over...

    Wiring in relation to back budding

    In my experience on a healthy tree, wiring helps with backbudding in that branches can be repositioned to get more sunlight. another thing that helps is removing terminals. Terminal buds get all the energy and when you remove them, it's forces that energy to go to buds further back on the...

    Are There People Here Consciously Creating "Naturalistic" Bonsai or Penjing?

    Hey Alexandra, I like this tree! Nice wild appearance. I like the thought of having a stone rather than leaving it open. I'm fairly certain that with several years strong growth the lower trunk would clasp the stone pretty well. I don't think that I would prune it too often for the next several...

    Anyone see this yet

    Great bit of work Walter and Gang! I agree with Don, for me the better picture is the one on the slab. Something about that 90 degree angle trunk extension that bothers me. Again, great work!

    To argue, could you put your best foot forward to post?

    Jeremy, I'm not sure how to take this. I don't consider myself an expert or a master of bonsai by any stretch, it doesn't matter. And yes, i've had a number of very good trees die over the years, some that I never knew why, they just didn't leaf out that spring. The only trees that I've had to...

    Flowers 2017

    Last year mine had a few 5's, a bunch of 6 and 7 petal blooms. This year so far mainly 5's, but 6's as well. haven't seen any 7's yet. Just curious after the drift episode of '15. I'm fairly certain that it is due to the drift. Hmmmm, to date, haven't had any petal blight issues, just the drift...

    Rosemary is tough to deal with.................all you have to do is look at them wrong and they give up the ghost. Have seen just a few over the years that survive over the long term. By the wrinkled***** of Methuselah, I hope it works for you!!

    Even though it came from a particular tree, it won't be exactly true, but, as you said, a hybrid between that tree and another tree in the area.
