    Japanese Black Pine

    JAPANESE BLACK PINE FOR SALE I've decided to sell this Japanese Black pine. It's aproximately 10-12 years old, is 26" tall and has been in its present mica container for three years. It's too cold up in my hills of New York to get good black pine growth. It needs a good home for a serious run...

    30 Year Old Nigra

    This is one of three Austrian Pines that I started from seedlings before I started bonsai. It still a work in progress. The species ramifies very slowly. The needles have been smaller but the health of the tree seems to suffer in the log run. Until it becomes show quality I think they'll stay...

    Chemical vs Organic.

    On a thread asking about when to start fertilizing after a repot it was posted that with chemical ferts to wait 2 weeks but with organics it is safe to start immediately. Why would that be?

    Is This Good Bonsai?

    *Disclaimer: I'm not trying to cause trouble or arguments or lead any one down a path. I'm only looking for intelligent dialoge. Do you think this tree could be a legitimate bonsai style.

    Food for Thought

    A $30 nursery tree is turned into a $350 tree in one day and people cry greed. A 300 years old yamadori is collected and sold for $3000 and people cry what a deal. What gives?
