Thinking about taking a walk on the wild side with this pot. Sorry for the terrible pics. Any input if you like tree + pot is appreciated! (also do boxwoods tend to do okay in shallow pots?) THANKS.

Help.. A # of my tridents and JM have been succumbing to brown tips and a little leaf curl. It's not hot yet so I know it's not burn. These are just leafing out and already some bad actors... ALSO .. A few shimpaku are doing the needles turn brown routine.. I've been removing the offenders...

Anyone savvy enough to know anything about this mark? This pot is 4ft x 3 ft and heavy as hell.. THANKS!

10 qts (two 5 qt bags) of Akadama for sale as one lot. I don't use akadama in my mix... It's on the softer side but again i'm not too familiar with this material . 40 OBO.

Nuts -- I repotted this bad ass little Shimpaku over the winter. It has been fairly warm here in the South East for a while already. Tree is putting out a moderate amount of new growth and appears healthy. Is it too soon to clean up and completely wire this tree? I'm chomping at the bit...

Tall order: Can anyone ID what type of pot this may be from these outrageously blurry pics? Or maybe country of origin? there appears to be oriental letters of some sort in that stamp.. Pot measures 2x3 feet.

Have an opportunity to acquire this besast.. Takes two guys to lift. Sunglasses for reference but seems bigger in real life. Any idea what something like this is worth? Hate to make things about the almighty dollar, but just curious. The pot alone must be worth a good bit.. Not sure if it's...

Anyone know if spray / drift from pressure washing house with dilute bleach (although I do not know what concentration) could be an issue on the plants? Wind is blowing spray right into the garden area. Spraying plants down after is probably a good idea..

i've acquired some Fujiyama branded akadama second hand that's soft as hell? crumbles between one's fingers easily.. no good right? I believe the guy has had this stuff for a number of years if that changes anything. Sealed in bag.

Had crazy warm February and most plants broke dormancy. Will near freezing ( tonight's low is 36) night temps be a problem? Or is it just freezing / frost that will hurt new growth? I've already re-potted a bunch of trees!!

Can anyone recommend a product for repairing a cracked / broken ceramic pot?

This guy's off the bench today for a closer look before it leafs out.. What would you do!?

Can anyone recommend a mycorrhizae product? I have a bunch of junipers to repot soon and want to give this a go.. TIA!

I have the bonsai equivalent of "should i go stock up on bread and milk" as an impending storm is slated to hit us southern bumpkins in the AM with sleet and a few inches of the white stuff and temps in the low 20's maybe even high teens on the ole ther-mo-meter. My plants have never...

1 & 2: old juniperd (parsonii maybe? ) . HBR and into grow box this spring.. 3: yew, great dead wood. cut it back hard in spring , bare root and re pot in grow pot 4: boxwood, unreal nebari! under the mulch is even more greatness.. plan is to chop this bad boy back to maybe that first branch...

Got this in a nice little pot today. Think it turned out well. Probably not ideal to re-pot in winter, but hey it's a ficus right?? Inside for the season, no grow lights but near a window..

I want to put the first pic into the second pic and go literati style.. Can I do it now or must I wait 'till sping? Thanks!

I'm no juniper expert. However, I found these at a steal of a price and could not resist! I think there is a lot of potential. Lots of questions. ID the variety? Any clue what's going on with the yellowing needles? what's up with that neon blue fertilizer? When's the best time to get them...

Want to confirm that this is true Kingsville... What ya think? I like 'em regardless, just curious. I found a bunch of these for cheap, cheap. Also, would wiring them this time of year be totally offensive? Thanks.

Found on my BRT. Thanks!

Found this tree in the corner of bonsai greenhouse; on the floor with no pot.. Lady selling it hated it so bad and just wanted it gone.. Sure it has some inherent flaws -- the reverse taper, the long , straight , unbendable branches, but I wanted to take on the challenge.. And I never heard of...

I have two similar ficus over rock trees, first thread is here... https://www.bonsainut.com/threads/a-fig-over-rock.29344/#post-489491 These were my very first "bonsai" trees. The lowly ficus benjamina. They've been a lot of fun. Wish I could get small leaves... This is the bigger of the two...

Found a stash of these dwarf myrtles - I think they're way cool! Two of the three pain trunks are the same height, which I don't like. I'd like to move that main fatty branch on the left down a good bit. Thinking about making a wedge cut on the underside and pulling it down... Anyone have any...

Got me this apple cored out trident.. Indecisive if i should chop low and use on of the existing 2 low branches as a leader or try to heal this area up.. Leaning towards the chop! Is it too late in the year to do so? Thanks.

Been growing in this pot a couple of years, figured would try a first styling today..
