    JM Rotted Trunk Hole Holding Water

    TL;DR - my tree rotted in the middle, so I carved out the spongy-rotted wood and that created a water-holding hole in the trunk. I'm not sure what to do to fix the water-holding hole or to help this tree heal-up. Pics inserted below. I have had this Japanese Maple (Osakazuki) since 2014 (I...

    Such gnarly looking little trees! I'm really anxious to see it (and mine) recover. Best of luck with it.

    Magnolia Jane Bonsai Project

    Thanks Ed. You've prompted me to study more into the layering technique and avoid killing any chance I had at propagating a large cutting. I was under the impression that you could chop a branch/trunk and then perform the air-layering technique to the base of the severed section. I don't plan...

    Magnolia Jane Bonsai Project

    I'm going to pot mine and just let it grow this season. I'll get an idea of the leaf and flower size I'm dealing with and go from there. I'd like to think it will end up as a great 30" bonsai with 3" trunk or so. coh, I like the thought line of having a tree in "show form" in a different...

    Magnolia Jane Bonsai Project

    Thanks Chris. I'm looking forward to working the roots this weekend. Grimmy, I'm not sure what I plan for it. It looks like it may be a natural candidate for a slanting upright style. Or I might try to get the leader/upper trunk to wind back around toward the center.

    Magnolia Jane Bonsai Project

    In with some 6+ foot magnolia trees at home depot were these two little ones, called Magnolia Jane. I smart-phoned 'em real quick and decided I'd take one home, just in case :) I've read some general guidance/experiences about bonsai for magnolias, but no mention of this specific species...
