Adair, I think it's a blend of personal preference, aesthetically pleasing (less space/neat), and I feel more in control while applying. It's a learning process too so I'm basically practicing on this jwp by finding the opportunity where it will be more efficient and applicable. My knowledge...

Thanks! haha, once you click on the picture the description is on the bottom. Maybe I should of made it more obvious.

Hi, I got this jwp in 01/2013 from nebonsai. The pictures show the progression along with the dates. Today, I added new guide wires. I still need to do a lot more work and it needs to be thinned out. All the best, Nick

I took better pictures of both fronts. These fronts have a trunk line that creates the illusion "coming out to hug the viewer" as you guys say so yeah the trunk line and apex ends up over the base. In addition, I created virts on paint again. Red, indicates trunk line. I will keep maybe one...

Ladies and gentlemen, I acquired this ume last year from lotus bonsai. Nothing was done to it; however, now I am making plans. Whats #1 on my list is picking out the best front. After spending some time looking at the tree, I chosen two locations. Front #1, appeals to me the most, the movement...

The 30 min rule does create challenges. Of course we may try to contact someone like Don , but the probability of performing a transaction in less than 30 mins is slim - due to lengthy and time consuming correspondences. Therefore browsing what's already out on the internet is the best option...

Bill should have some for sale. Check out his 2015 catalogue.

Happy new year everyone!

Fascinating progression! I recently acquired a cork bark elm from Brent in a four inch pot. I'm looking forward to develop it into a medium to large size tree. To have good start, I would like to make sure I approach some development techniques. However, I'm not very knowledgeable on how to...

We all know Judy. Regardless of what price she paid for it, she will make an incredible tree out of it, which will eventually outshine the price she paid for it. Lets please stay on topic.

Enjoy Judy !

Not sure, it just said cuttings. Serreta Zelkova, Korean Hornbeam, Cork Bark Elm, and Trident Maples This was done when the leaves were falling.

Hi, I purchased several cuttings from Brent. For the winter I placed them in a cold frame with a heat mat below -heat mat is only turned on when the temperature drops under 30. The cold frame is miniature size, so a few cuttings had to be cut down - removing an inch or two. As a result, new...

Thank you for sharing Brian! I read the thread from the beginning and I was wondering If i chop of that diameter could of been done on a Japanese Maple?

No, I did not expose the roots.

This is one of my contorted quinces. After leaf drop I chopped it back; however, I left a few interesting branches that I will eventually need. I hope you guys had a great thanksgiving, Nick

Yes, Green Dream fertilizing pellets are slow release

Thank you ed. I just removed it and noticed how it is growing on the green dream fertilizing pellets

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I decided to check what plants need water today. My little guys I placed in a small miniature cold frame. As soon as I pulled out my trident maple, I noticed small cotton type of growth has formed on top of the soil. Are you guys familiar with this? My moisture...

Nice, I have two contorted quinces that looked similar to this one when I first got them. They have very nice exposed roots. I already packed them away for winter so I can't take photos at the moment. Basically, I chopped down all the trunks in stages -to start fresh. This can be done during the...

Thanks! a very good explanation. Someone also mentioned that some red maples growing in Florida are Acer Rubrum trilobum, which is a different variety. I am curious to find out if mine is that variety. I'm excited to see some of your red maples.

Brian, why is closing the uro high priority?

A true gem!

Sounds like a plan! I will probably do the same. However, the lowest my garage will go down to is 45-47. I will certainly bring it down to the garage when its 32 or below. Thanks, she is wonderful! Thanks! the red maple at bbg is being approached in that manner. Thanks Sorce, first...

Giga, I do it two times during the year. The first time would be shortly after leaf drop or when the majority of the leafs are aggressively falling -basically that is your window of time. The second time would be around repotting. Specifically when the buds swelled up enough and the leafs are on...
