Many kind words were written on "The Passing of a Formative Bonsai Artist (Vance Wood)" thread. However, I thought some of us might want to share a more personal story about him so here is the place to do it. Here's mine: Back in 2015 I was putting together a Box Store material type challenge...

Well, I haven't posted a new thread in a long while. I decided to create a thread not just about this Asian Jasmine but any others out there that people want to talk about. Also, this one is for sale on Facebook and I wanted to create an online reference point for for the new owner to hopefully...

Getting ready to sell one of my trees over on Facebook and can't for the life of me remember the details about this pot. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Well, I have a small window of opportunity of internet use since the hurricane so I figured I'd start a thread of family Christmas photos. If you have them, post them (doesn't even have to have the whole family). Here's mine (me, wife grandson and daughter): MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL YOU NUTS!

Just a quick post to let all concerned B-Nutters that my family and I am okay. I'm using someone's hotspot so that's all I got for now. Once we get power and internet and such I'll update again.

About 5 or 6 years ago my son gifted me a small-leaf Fukien Tea. I thought for sure it would have died by now but no such luck. So, I'm throwing in the towel and going to try to give it some proper care (that should certainly kill it). What we know is Fukien Tea originated from China and...

So, I took a mini vacation to Helen, Georgia this weekend to celebrate the big 6o. Although I didn't get many photos the trees were quite interesting. I thought some of the newer folks may appreciate what a graft on a lace-leaf Japanese Maple looks like after probably 30 or 40 years. There were...

Picked up this little guy a while back from my good friend @Stickroot. It’s gone through quite a transition in just a short time. Now I have some branches set and I’ll let it grow for another year. Enjoy!

It was a sunny day today so I thought I would take a few photos of some trees I've been working on. Nothing special, I just pulled them from the bench a shot a photo. Feel free to ask questions or offer an opinion. Asian Jasmine: Japanese Maple I started as a cutting: Dawn Redwood...

Back in September 2014 I collected this Burford Holly for no other reason than to see if it would live. Someone wanted it removed, so I removed it. Not really an ideal tree for bonsai because the leaves are kind of big but since the tree is so big they don’t look too bad. For nearly four years...

Well, it looks like we're going to get tropical storm force winds from Hurricane Irma so I decided to put all my trees up. I put as many as I could in the garage and the rest had to be strategically placed to avoid as much as possible from being blown around. The take-away, I need to do some...

@Dav4 @Bonsai Nut I was able to snap some photos today of the RMJ. I don't believe it's going to die but it certainly had the wind knocked out of it. The tips seem very healthy. It has lost roughly half of its needles.

Wow such incredibly sad news... I just read over on one of the Facebook Forums that Paul passed yesterday. I'm not sure of the details but it was certainly unexpected. I have met the man and had a great conversation about pottery and using stainless steel as a medium. He really was a great guy...

This works kind of like the Tree Thread, Yamadori Thread and others. However, you don't need to post a tree every time you respond. If you have a tree that you just can't seem to do anything with post it here to get some ideas or help with it. First up, my Seesaw Juniper. There are two branches...

Picked this up last January at the Kawa Show. It still has a ways to go but it's been a fun journey so far. The price was reasonable enough: I repotted it soon after getting it but wasn't happy with it. The new plan was to keep it happy until next year and repot again.

@Mellow Mullet I didn't want to hijack your thread (https://www.bonsainut.com/threads/a-score-maybe.26819/#post-437459) so I started this one in the hopes of showing what can be done with your Ilex. However, I'm sure you already know so maybe others may benefit. I collected this one from my...

This one is for you @sorce. Its four year journey has been relatively cookie cutter. It still has a little way to go but it's getting there. Next year it needs to go a bit deeper in the pot. Here it is shortly after I collected it: This morning before repotting it: After repotting:

In my opinion this is the best time of year to view Parthenocissus quinquefolia 'Virginia creeper'. The leaves are just beginning to open and although it's not the reason behind the "creeper" part, they do have a creepy appearance to them. Here are a couple I've been working on. Oh, if you have...

I've been growing this Dawn Redwood from a seedling for a few years. Last year I repotted it and placed it over a rock. It has gotten to the point where I can finally put a bend in it. This past weekend the deed was done. I have repotted it in a mica pot and wired it up. It stands about 15...

I hope he doesn't mind but I wanted to give a shout out to @Stickroot and his wife on the birth of their beautiful baby boy! I know they are just as proud and happy as can be. Congratulations and let the fun begin!

I was totally bored today so I decided to make a video. LOL! Let the critics loose :)

I repotted this Trident this Spring but never really felt the pot was right for it. The moss has gotten out of hand and the roots are already circling the inside of pot. It's going to go in another pot in about two months. Ant suggestions would be appreciated. (That one leaf has been holding on...

Okay, I subscribe to a few Bonsai Blogs and enjoy seeing the updates. I'm not entirely sure of the purpose of a Blog as compared to just creating your own website but that's not why I created this thread. My purpose is more about Blog etiquette. When I receive updates, should I comment or just...

I figured I better create another thread for any comments. I appreciate everyone's patience with the Judging Thread.

First and foremost, PLEASE DO NOT COMMENT on any posts in this thread until the four challengers have finished posting their work. Any comments will be removed. You can “Like” as many as you want but please don’t comment. I’m trying to keep the comments to a minimum so Mr. Pall can get through...
