Burls also make beautiful guitars :) sad they took it from the tree like that though :(

Two days ago a was pruning new growth on my azalea when I noticed a few holes in some leaves; I figured it was not any thing big and kept pruning. The a noticed a new big root that just popped up, I touched it and it was soft :eek: ..... long story short caterpillars (aka Camouflaged Satan) are...

Last October my mom got a new house and we cleared a small section of mostly shrubbery to see deer and stuff (step-dads idea, hunting season and all that) and we chopped an oak not sure if its a live oak but believe so from the leaves. It was chopped about 8 inches and last month it sprouted a...

Thanks guys :)

I would too, that's why I asked. I've been thinking of getting one, one day.

Anyone grow one before bonsai or not? Are they finicky? And if you tried it as a bonsai how did it turn out?

Thanks for the input guys as far as leaf size goes I've seen a few with smaller-usher leaves as well (around 3 in) and coppice I'd love to hear what you get out of those you're trying. And I'll also check some nurseries as was also recommended. Thanks again.

I've searched the internet for information on this, however, I could not find all that much; so I was wondering if any of you have tried it and what success you had. Thanks.

Um I hate to ask such a question but, since I'm new at this still, can some post pictures or explain what "scale" foliage is?

There are tons of them around my house and only a few female. I was wondering how well they took to air layering as a way to get a female tree. I've searched but couldn't find any info on this. Has anyone done it, how long did it take and did it work?

Yay another teen aged person. Most people in this hobby are older and it's kinda cool to know I'm not the only person around my age doing this (I'm not calling these other guys old ;)) I myself am new at this only a few months but I agree with the big box store things these guys said. That's...

Yeah I was probably going to do a rain barrel of some sort anyway and just use the pump water if the rain water runs out or until I get a barrel or large bucket of some kind. I have a guy who stops buy over there now and then that sales 55-gallon drums and 2 other sizes and he may give me some...

Thanks for the responses you guy's. :):

As I'm still in high school I live with my parents and I will through college as well, because it's a lot cheaper and college is expensive. Anyway sometime soon I'm going to move in with my mom since she got a new house a couple of months ago. I go there on the weekends and the water tastes...

WOW, that's a beautiful chair. I think the 5 weeks were worth it. :)

Thanks for answering guys those gave me ideas about my next tree :) sorry I'm late I didn't have access to internet this weekend

Ok thank all of you for your input and patients, and I will wait till it's been outside in the sun for a while thanks again :)

:( I can't get it to upload but I'll attempt to describe it better. It is more around 2 feet now that I'm looking at it and about ten inches up it is the branch I was thinking of going to and there are four or five under that and I would say it would end up with about 27 leaves if I did chop it...

I'm on a phone but I'll try :) might take me a bit though

Ok thanks, I guess I'll develop a plan b so I don't lose it.... what about chopping to a new leader lower down?

I have a ficus kiki and it is about 1.5 feet tall could I chop it down to about 6 or 7 inches. Will it back bud? Thanks in advance :)

As a beginner I do not yet have a favourite, that and I'm indecisive about favourite anything. But what's your favorite species to work with and if you want to share why is it your favourite? :)

Ok thanks I'll get right on that :)

I got a landscapeing juniper from lowed a few months ago and it did great but my neighbor's dog knocked it down from where it was and the main branch cracked. It didn't break but is disconnected about 3/4 of the way. It is a dwarf garden juniper (that's what the tag said) and is a horizontally...

This was a sad story. I like how y'all got it because of proposing under a tree and what not. If the tree doesn't make it maybe you could attempt (with permission) to take a cutting from the actual tree depending on its species and growing it into a bonsai. Find out what species it is and learn...
