    Collected Buttonwood initial styling.

    Waited until April. Done with defoliation for tonight. I leave terminal buds intact because I did not prune. I will prune after wiring so I do not remove useable growth. It has leaned because it had very little roots (being that it was a branch cutting). A rock is currently holding it up to...

    Donald Trump.

    No, you took the "ass at me" statement literal, when it was sarcasm. The whole thing was a joke. Can't stump the Trump.

    Donald Trump.

    It amazes me that I get bitched at by the admin for making fun of Vance, but Vance is allowed to just spew word vomit at people every day. Stop being such a shit head @sorce

    New Roy Minarai Pot

    Favorite US potter and he had his debut in Japan just recently. They love him too. I'm having a commissioned pot made as well, a 12" rectangle. Should have it in the next month or so. Roy's a genuine guy. I'm glad to throw money at him.

    Ebenopsis ebano // Texas Ebony

    @KennedyMarx No, I leave the thorns. I read that some plants store hormones in the thorns, I'm not sure if that holds true across species though. I also like having them as a garden conversation. Anything that makes a species unique or unusual should be valued imo. @AaronThomas They seem...

    Bald cypress "knees"

    Knees do not produce foliage but can be thread grafted. I don't think there is any definitive research that states what their precise function is.

    Ebenopsis ebano // Texas Ebony

    That is odd. I have one sitting on my back porch that was sent to me three weeks ago, and it hasn't been watered or unwrapped. The rootball is just wrapped with cling wrap and the foliage is green as can be.

    Fusing Schefflera?

    Just because they haven't seen it themselves, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Have you ever seen Schefllara with bark like that before? Probably not. Have you ever seen a 3 headed Sabal Palm?

    Fusing Schefflera?

    Schefllara will fuse. Takes time and pressure. Those braided trunk topiaries end up looking muscular and fluted given enough time. Schefllara will also produce a cragged bark given enough time.

    Ebenopsis ebano // Texas Ebony

    Ebenopsis is very drought tolerant, ranges from central Mexico through the southwest US. The seeds produced in the pods are edible, but I have yet to try one. Not a very fast grower, but quick enough. The bark is craggy and the compound leaf is small with a miniscule thorn at each node. They...

    Ebenopsis ebano // Texas Ebony

    This is a tree that I've had in my collection for about 2 years that has been totally ignored, periodically trimmed and watered is all. It's an old tree, probably peg it near 30yrs. Came to me from my teacher, and was given to him by an old friend who could not take care of her bonsai after the...

    Ted Matson Workshop

    Club workshops and demonstrations are primarily for entertainment. You can't judge the work of the demonstrator from an open-ended workshop. A BYOT workshop is not a setting where an artist can dive deep into anything. If the audience applause the speaker, his job was done well. If any given...
