I am in the works of starting a website selling tools, some pots, and some trees. The tools will be Kaneshin and Masakuni. What would you like to see on the site? What would you buy?

I need to clear some stuff off of the bench so I'll be posting a few trees on here for sale. PM me with questions or offers. First up is a Chinese Elm in a handmade Chinese pot. Beautiful tree with branches all in the right places. Great taper on the branches and the ramification is coming...

Procumbens Nana from Brussel's. I got it this summer and thought I wanted to make it a bunjin so I cut the bottom branches off then proceeded to jin and shari. I wanted something to do today and noticed that the shari is rolling over already and it seemed pretty happy so I decide to work on it...

Since I prefer to work standing up, I am looking to build a height adjustable tripod turntable. Up to this point, I have used my wooden display stands to work on but they are not height adjustable so it is very difficult. I've had to use anything from a fold out table, to the top of my garbage...

The Houston Bonsai Society is having its fall show in October. I decided to take this elm as one of my trees. The tree was maintained to keep its shape for years without any cutting back to redevelop taper on the branches. Time to address that. I trimmed the tree up and removed heavy branches...

There isn't a lot out there about fall decandling other than (Jonas Dupuich's blog) so I figured I would post something on here. I decandled this black pine about two weeks ago. Houston has a long growing season so I fully expect the candles to extend by the time winter comes. Next summer, I...

It's been awhile since I've been on here. Just wanted to share a recent acquisition! All I've done is remove the old wire and rewired the tree. (first picture is after rewiring)

Hi all, I am in need of 19"-21" glazed oval pots around 3" in depth. I've exhaust online resources. Please let me know if you have any you'd like to part with. Thanks!

11" at the soil line, over 5" trunk. It's either an American Elm or a Cedar Elm. Rough chop was made earlier this year. I am selling this for a friend. He is asking $200 plus actual shipping costs. UPDATE: He'll take $150 plus shipping

This may be a fairly controversial topic, but one that I find interesting. Through my exposure with bonsai. I have noticed that the majority of individuals involved in the hobby are well education or relatively successful individuals. The cost of buying, owning, or caring for bonsai could...

I am starting to turn a lot more attention to brooms. What I found is that, for the most part, they look very similar to one another. In informal upright, trees can differentiate themselves with their trunk lines. However, since brooms generally don't have taper, are upright, and have...

What is your total death count (rough estimate will work)? Were they finished, nursery stock, etc? How many of them just randomly died and didn't give you an opportunity to learn why they died? Total deaths: 25ish, mostly nursery stock while I tried to push the limits to see what I can go...

Due to some unforeseen personal events, I am forced to sell off a lot of stock I had plans for. I will post pictures periodically through this weekend. PM me with offers if you are interested! quince SOLD single trunk maple SOLD zelkova SOLD pyracantha SOLD 3.5" trident SOLD shohin neea SOLD...

Online resources have conflicting information, some say zone 7 others say 9. I am in Houston where people say tridents won't do well but they seem just fine down here. Will Korean Hornbeams do well in Houston? Summers are long, hot (generally mid 90's to low 100's for a couple of months), and...

I love this little guy! 4" base, 11" tall. Purchased from Marc Torppa, shipped. All that's missing is needle reduction, maybe some branch selection and I'm pretty much home free. Terrific ramification. Now... To find him a pot... Always the hardest part...

I am looking for a large Harland or Kingsville Boxwood. 2"+ trunk diameter. Thanks!

I have an idea of the type/style of pot I would like this tree in, but am curious to see what everybody else thinks.

Where is a good source for rock slabs for planting? I can't seem to find any! Everybody I ask just says that they found it....

This thread probably exists somewhere but I can't find it. What is the timeline for work on pines? I understand repotting and wiring happens in December, old needle pulling in October, etc, (for Houston temperate zone). To focus in a bit more, I am referring to JBP; Red and white don't do...

I have 4 Water Jasmine I imported from Vietnam early this spring. Bases from 5"-8" and trunks from 3"-5". I Had to buy 8 of them to get get the price down for each of them so I am keeping 3 and sold one already. These are the 4 that are still available. Shoot me a pm or email with an offer for...

I love Walter's work and have seen some tridents for sale on his site I'd love to have. Has anyone here in the states been able to get one or know of how to? (without flying over seas and shoving it in a suitcase of course)
